Threat Research Team identified a cross-store browser extension, “Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot,” that forwards each user’s live Twitch OAuth session token to proxy servers operated by a Russian commercial bot service. The extension ships on both the Chrome Web Store (extension ID pnhhdhhcadcjfckjhpmjneldiegbojfb, 30,000 users) and Firefox Add-ons ([email protected], 552 users). Both listings are live at time of writing.
Twitch Adblock Solutions on github? Developer rage quit in disgust of Amazon and archived the repo.
This is the current darling extension to use:

It’ll use the standard definition preview stream until the ads stop playing, then switch to the regular stream.
