If I ever watched Twitch I’d be pretty disappointed but I don’t get the appeal of watching someone else play most of the time. Same with sports: They can be fun to play but watching other people play is mostly just boring.
I usually watch smaller streamers and chat with them :> Never watched big streams because they’re just super boring.
I can see the appeal of watching someone play from an edited video. But watching it live seems like a total waste of time for me.
Especially on Twitch where you can pause properly.

Really? Seems to work fine for me, for now.
Wtf !!!
fuck amazon
Does Amazon own Twitch?
yup
works fine for me on firefox with ublock origin.
Same for me. I even tried connecting through Serbia1 with my VPN, and it still works.
- Which, legend has it, results in no ads being served via Twitch
Does that work with Serbia as well? :o I thought it was only Russia, hopefully my VPN has Serbia
I honestly haven’t heard Russia mentioned, just Serbia, but could be
It’s hard for me to verify since I don’t watch much of anything on Twitch that’s not just personal friends streaming a game
Working fine for me. Do you have an older version installed or a fork?
Wait what. You can edit the title on Lemmy. Why didn’t Reddit have this feature?

It has its pros and cons. Helpful for typos, but it could also be easily misused.
I am able to login just fine. Is your Firefox browser up-to-date?
For me FF and Librewolf work on Windows. Don’t work on Arch.
Switched to Chatterino and Streamlink
Jeff Bezos site that I can’t block ads? I’ll pass.
You can block them with this: https://github.com/arthurbolsoni/Purple-adblock
From the twitch pages
The desktop web browser experience of twitch.tv and supporting sites, officially support the latest two versions of Google Chrome, the latest two versions of Mozilla Firefox, the most recent version of Microsoft Edge, and the most recent version of Apple Safari.

What’s your browser version OP, so we can rule out whether it’s just a version issue
I had the same problem as Op.
for over a year i couldnt log into my twitch account cause it kept pissing and moaning about my browser not being supported, despite being on a supported version and browser.
persisted through reformats, through LiveCD tryouts, different physical computers, browser resets/reinstalls, and with all addons uninstalled and/or disabled.
Only recently started working again for some reason.
I’d wager twitch is just shit at shit.
thank god I wasnt a streamer wasnt financially dependent on it.
I recently switched to pop!_OS, doesn’t it come with the latest version?
Not out of the box
so I checked and it was the latest version, the problem was firefox’s enhanced security option, it works after I disabled it. https://lemmy.ml/comment/2886486
Wouldn’t that still be Twitch’s fault for not supporting a browser with added security features? Or am I misunderstanding something?
most browsers don’t support the strict security option firefox has
I understand that from a technical level. But the solution is “we’ll make it work” and not “either use a less secure tool, or lower security on what you are using”. In my opinion this is a problem that Twitch needs to fix, not work around.
Theoretically you are absolutely right. Problem is, the user base Firefox and especially the enhanced security have is probably not huge enough for them to bother.
Probably should edit the post to limit the slander
oh, yeah I should.
Nice I didn’t know on Lemmy people could edit titles.

It may be the latest version but they just don’t handle user-agent strings very well.
It’s the add-ons or if you modified some strict privacy settings, I had the issue with librewolf
working for me #fakeNews
