Third party apps: "OK. We'll show ads. Muted. Behind a black overlay. If we really can't find a workaround."
If they really want to drive the point home, change the resolution of the ads to 1x1 and adjust the speed x999.
I know the resolution thing seems redundant. There might be cases where the ad loads before the overlay does; it's to address that.
Years ago I used to use an app called "AdSkip" or something along those lines that used the accessibility API to automatically mute and skip all YouTube ads. I'd imagine the screen black-out would be trivial to add on top
not for YouTube but there is for twitch yea
Please don't leave me hanging.
Xtra was one of them I used to use, but they have a bunch of different ad blocks that do it too now. Multistream services do it as well
You can use SafeTwitch with LibRedirect
For Android, I recommend Xtra
no need just yet, so im guessing no
I think YouTube wouldn't care as long as they got paid
