My terminology may be wrong, but I would assume these ad-blockers are great until streaming platforms catch up and embed ads directly into the video stream.

Twitch is getting close to that. They directly inject video ads into streams at random times causing you to miss parts of streams. uBlock Origin seemed to have a way around that with some extra setup but it's only a matter of time before it's completely transparent, seamless, and technically unblockable by client-side addons.

Part of me wonders why they haven't done so yet.
