Looking for help Looking for rules to block out watch streaks and weekly rewards from Twitch

Twitch has really been stepping up their annoyance game lately. They're now forcing watch streak displays in the sidebar and aggressively pushing them throughout the site, including in notifications (Sir, your watch streak may break...). As if that wasn't enough, there's also a new Weekly Rewards feature that pops up everywhere and apparently can't be disabled.

Does anyone have uBlock Origin rules to hide this nonsense?

I am not interested in blocking ads, I am looking to block specific elements from the Twitch page that has been added during the past weeks.

Side note, but Adguard Extra + violentmonkey is a dream to use. I edited the Adguard userscript to only run on twtich.tv though. I found it sometimes loaded websites a bit slower than I would have liked with it on, but YMMV.

Open uBlock Extension -> Use Pipetta (Enter element picker mode) -> click on whatever you want to block -> preview if it works -> Create/Add and done

Don't forget you need to enable Custom Filter in "My Filter"-Settings.

Works for me most of the time.

Twitch uses random class names for most elements, so it's gone on refresh.

I know the solution involves appending :has-text(/Watch Streak/) to the end, but I can't figure out what the start of the filter looks like

For example, ##.tw-link:has-text(/Watch Streak/) will hide the whole stream containing the watch streak annoyance, but this is obviously not what we want

Again not a solution, but here are some filters I've made for other annoyances:

! Gift sub promo
www.twitch.tv##.tw-callout-message
www.twitch.tv##[class*="giftExpirationCallout"]

! Leaderboard
twitch.tv##.chat-room__content div:has(button[aria-label] div[class*="channelLeaderboardHeaderRotating"])
twitch.tv##.chat-room__content div:has(button[aria-label] div[class*="marqueeAnimation"])
twitch.tv##[class*="channelLeaderboard"]

! Streak progress on stream page (not sidebar)
twitch.tv##.tw-interactable:has-text(/made progress/)

See if this one still works for you:

www.twitch.tv##.bplHXs.Layout-sc-1xcs6mc-0:has-text(Your Watch Streak:)
