Twitch has gotten insufferable with ads lately. Sometimes I'm getting 3mins straight of ads.

To add insult to injury, twitch is buggy as hell and I often need to refresh and usually it loads new ads.

I used to have a special config in ublock specifically for twitch but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Any tips?

I don't have a twitch account, but try NoScript. The site works when only allowing twitch.tv and twitchcdn.net to load (as in I can navigate and join streams) but this might disable account features. I think the ads you're referring to are coming from amazon-adsystem.com but ads directly from streamers can't be disabled afaik.

amazonads has already been blocked but I just blocked amazon and waiting to see if that does the trick.
