Twitch stops playing when switch to another tab and back to twitch it stops playing and i have to manually click on the unpause button. if i disable shields for the site it fixxes it but then i get ads obv. I use brave nightly any fixxes?

I understand l. Weird is just i have normal brave and there’s it works somehow without that issue idk what i did there

Unrelated, if you want Twitch adblocking is in Experimental List in Shields

does this work as good as scripts like raft ad block? like does it really block every single ad also midroll ads and that?

Yes, and we’re now maintaining it since Pixeltris left

Oh u work for brave? Brave are the goats i love them. One question i had since i switched from brave to brave nightly my Proton VPN extension loads slower on nightly and i sometimes have upto 10 sec without internet until the extension is fully loaded on brave it always was instant. Do u have any id…

Extensions won’t be slower, like any other chrome extension.

If twitch is muted, it’ll pause. this is done on twitch side not in the browser. I saw this myself.
