twitch.tv ads not blocked
Firefox + ABP = no ads on this site, while in Safari I see ads before any channel video starts. Maybe it's flash and can't be blocked at all in Safari, but maybe there is a way to block such ads?

Requests issued by third-party plugins like Flash aren’t blocked. Ads on YouTube are still blocked in most cases though.

This is terrible. I use ABP all the time to block those annoying ads in Twitch
Re: twitch.tv ads not blocked
Unfortunately Safari's extension API doesn't let us block requests initiated by Flash and other third-party plugins. And since Safari's extension API hasn't improved since Safari 5.1, chances that this will change anytime soon are very small. But we were at least able to make Adblock Plus for Safari block video ads on YouTube, by rewriting the HTML that initializes the player. However that approach won't work for Twitch and most other video streaming websites. But you can use Firefox, Chrome or Opera with Adblock Plus in order to block those ads.
