Hey guys!
I'm really sorry, but I'm not going to support this add-on anymore.

Description

Allows to hide content that you don't want to see on twitch.tv by blocking channels and games. Blocked content will not be visible for you anymore on Directory pages, such as Games, Channels, Videos etc.

Installation and System Requirements

This is not a standalone application or web browser extension but a so-called userscript. It is designed to work with userscript manager extension installed in your browser.

The userscript works with the following configurations:

  • Google Chrome 18 or later with installed Tampermonkey extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Firefox 57 or later with installed Greasemonkey extension from Mozilla Add-ons.

Important: Userscript manager extension must be installed in your web browser BEFORE installing this userscript.

How to use

Overlay menu

After installation there will be a menu added on twitch.tv for using and configuring "Hide unwanted streams on Twitch" solution. The menu can be accessed by hovering mouse over a stream, video or game thumbnail on supported pages (see Supported pages section further in this document), like on the following screenshot:
