I think I discovered a bug when viewing streams from livestream.com.. Maximize the stream to fullscreen, and at exactly the same time as the "break for ad" countdown reaches zero, press the escape key. Now you won't have to watch those annoying ads.

This works when the stream is embedded on TL. Haven't tested it otherwise.

Nice! Now I don't have to open up multiple tabs to be able to watch uninterrupted.
I can already see the ending

You can also use Adblock+ if you have firefox. (Don't you dare start a browser war)

Those ads are sooooo annoying since you can't turn off the sound.

You probably have ad block or something like that on your browser. That's why I use Firefox for watching streams :D

Adblock Plus extension for Firefox or the HOSTS file that Kentor posted earlier both work even better with less hassle.

I have adblock plus and I still can't block the ads lol


I can block ads that are the normal sort of ads like on the side of the page and top and bottom or whatever, but IDK how to block the intermittent livestream ones. When they come up if I right click there's no AdBlock+ thing in the drop down


anyone have any ideas to help?

Are you using chrome or firefox? On firefox it should be working.
