Note about breaking changes on twitch.tv
Twitch is infamous for changing their website without further notice, which may break this extension over night. Twitch also serves different canary builds (previews of potential future versions) to selected/random users for up to 4 weeks, which most likely break parts of the extension. If you notice pages no longer working properly, disable the extension, report the issue¹ and wait for an update. Note that updates may take a few days to be approved on the corresponding browser stores. Keep an eye on the GitHub commits² or follow me on Twitter³ to receive news regarding new versions.

Hayato Jin (ID: 0000002f7c406bd2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/07/2024 I wish i had found this sooner, being able to block a lot of annoying streamers and games from showing up has made Twitch so much better, to the creator of this addon, i wish only good things for you! Year later, could not enjoy Twitch without it :)

myUser (ID: 000000a6151e1ddd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/19/2024 EDIT: anyone there? Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Adding a channel to blacklist does not seem to do anything. Thanks.
