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

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

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.

Same for me. I even tried connecting through Serbia1 with my VPN, and it still works.

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

I block Twitch from my Firefox, how 'bout dat?

Seriously, I’ve never gotten a second of joy from Twitch, it’s just the most pointless thing imaginable. And even if I wanted to use it, I would be unwilling based on the fact the site assaults you with random streams that you can’t turn off as soon as you go there.

I’ll never understand why people want to watch other people play a game normally, when you could just play the game yourself.

Now speedrunning videos make sense and are the only kind of game streaming I’ll watch. But not on Twitch, cause who wants to watch someone fuck up and restart the game for hours on end, when you can just see the highlights on YouTube?

Exactly. You’re getting tons of downvotes but I agree. I like “funny” gamers collected moments, like Dunkey videos, and speed runs, but I have zero interest in watching normal people just playing and annoyingly reading their chat window aloud.
