Popular "Video Ad-Block, for Twitch" Extension with 600k users, has removed the source code from GitHub and completely privatized it. The latest update requires new permissions to "read and change your data on all amazon.co.uk sites" adding ""aradb-21" as a referral tag to product URLs.

  • extensions

    to be fair, that was actually a good PR he made. it changed the extension's behavior with respect to leaking request parameters that TTV LOL didn't need to work by not sending those.

  • randomx-sniffer

    Proof of concept tool to detect RandomX cryptojacking malware on Windows

    I doubt this extension could do that but you could check your PC for moneros mining algorithm randomx. since it creates some very specific traffic on your machine, this tool should find it: https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer

  • Purple-adblock

    Adblock for the twitch using server side signature

    I've used Purple Adblock from pixeltris' TwitchAdSolutions for months and haven't had a single purple screen/ad since Twitch started this bullshittery. Though, I can't speak for Chrome, I'm a Firefox user.

    Adguard for Android with the premium subscription for Twitch, Infinity for Reddit for Reddit, YouTube Vanced for YouTube.

  • mpv

  • wrangler-legacy

    Discontinued 🤠 Home to Wrangler v1 (deprecated)

    When you click onto amazon they build a webservice that redirects you to a site that has amazon in the name but isnt actually hosted by amazon but by a cloudflare service that lets you write code snippets then redirects back to amazon, so they are tracking your requests and redirecting to a page with unknown code on it.

  • chatterino2

    Chat client for https://twitch.tv

    Looking at https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/pull/3071 it appears there's a fork at https://github.com/SevenTV/chatterino7 with 7TV, haven't used it myself so I don't know how that would go.

  • workspacer

    a tiling window manager for Windows

    I usually only watch one stream at a time but the few times I have had two open I just kept a single chat open. Pressing the + next to options when you have a tab open lets you open another side by side, no idea if there's any way to drag and drop a tab there though. More generally for window management I use https://workspacer.org on windows and have filters to automatically open chatterino and mpv on the same workspace with a 20-80 split.

  • terser

    🗜 JavaScript parser, mangler and compressor toolkit for ES6+

    Have you even tried Terser? While it doesn't obfuscate it does transform a lot of code, so the actual output depending on the config you use is dramatically different.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
