Twitch limiting to 480p now?
An efficient blocker add-on for various browsers. Fast, potent, and lean.

EDIT: theres a fix for it already;
just purge all caches and update in the ublock options

Well no because there are other alternative blockers that people can still use without this happening.

It seems that a lot of people have the 480p only option but there are still some with the 1080p option.. weird
Haven't even opened the website for a week after they really started pushing this shit. Fuck em, not worth the effort of jumping through a million hoops just to use their service when there are other platforms that let you actually enjoy content without being constantly interrupted by pre and mid roll ads (and now at a significantly higher quality than twitch streams).
I haven't used it in a while but I imagine it's still working fine, so:

Thankfully I'm not having the issues atm, but god damn twitch is going full on against adblock now.
Nothing here regardless of browser or whether I'm logged in. I have a feeling they're doing AB testing with this to see if it negatively impacts them.
They've been aggressively trying anti-adblock things in the last week. Constantly needing to update certain things in uBlock, and also if mid-stream ads play now, it goes to a purple screen saying "We've noticed you're using an adblocker" for the duration of their ads.
twitch ads bypassing my setup blocker to block them was already pushing me off the platform.
guess this'll just make me stop using twitch all together

I never watch in fullscreen anyway, always just in a corner in a small window, so like.... not a loss for me on the rare time I use twitch lol.
Sometimes when using Multitwitch for tournaments I even go down to 360p and just have it in smaller windows.

Alternate player is working for full res still. FWIW I don't think it's a blanket ublock thing, it's specifically people who put the fix to get around ads.
They're getting insanely aggressive here though. The ads are incredibly invasive so I'll keep blocking them, if they're going to go this far to tank quality for the user then the site is just going to get visited less.

Nope, everything is still fine on my end. Maybe Canada is immune.
Oh yeah, this'll totally work, just like every other time monolithic organisations have gone up against hordes of passionate amateurs.
Lol then sites will employ anti anti-adblock measures
"Hey. We see that you're blocking us from blocking you from blocking us :)"
