Two uBlock Origin rules to improve your Twitch experience

In plain words

This is a collection of uBlock Origin filter rules designed to clean up the Twitch interface. It removes popup modals that appear over video playback, typically related to extensions, and eliminates the chat leaderboard header. Users add these filters to uBlock Origin's custom filters tab to reduce visual clutter while watching streams. The rules target specific class names that Twitch uses for these interface elements.

In the maker’s words, at launch

It might come down to taste, but I feel like a lot of the "features" Twitch has been adding have cluttered the interface while offering little of value for someone like me who just watches streams occasionally and isn't closely involved in community events.

  Let's Block It – Custom uBlock Origin Filters Made Easy2022 · letsblock.it · ▲261

  Twitch Roulette – Find and chat with streamers who are streaming alone2020 · twitchroulette.net · ▲732

  Hey HN, I re-launched an old site I remembered back in the day that someone made called twitchroulette.net with a lot of new features and stats and I would love for people to check it out. The idea is you can easily browse the less browsed parts of twitch and find cool and new streamers to say hi to, and maybe make some new friends. I also added some real time stats and breakdowns per channel and I think some of the things they show are pretty interesting. Check it out!
