fr0g ( @fr0g@infosec.pub ) 60•11 months agoFrom 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 recently switched to pop!_OS, doesn’t it come with the latest version?
ProperlyProperTea ( @ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml ) 13•11 months agoNot 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
Wugmeister ( @ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 22•11 months agoProbably should edit the post to limit the slander
oh, yeah I should.
XTornado ( @XTornado@lemmy.ml ) 1•11 months agoNice I didn’t know on Lemmy people could edit titles.
vlad ( @vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•11 months agoWouldn’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
vlad ( @vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•11 months agoI 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.
Synnr ( @Synnr@sopuli.xyz ) 1•11 months agoIt may be the latest version but they just don’t handle user-agent strings very well.
Dubious_Fart ( @Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml ) English3•11 months agoI 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.
teft ( @teft@startrek.website ) 23•11 months agoworks fine for me on firefox with ublock origin.
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social ) 16•11 months agoSame 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
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social ) 2•11 months agoI 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
ɐɥO ( @Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz ) 22•11 months agofuck amazon
JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) 6•11 months agoDoes Amazon own Twitch?
Rhabuko ( @Rhabuko@feddit.de ) 23•11 months agoyup
Koen967 ( @Koen967@feddit.nl ) 19•11 months agoReally? Seems to work fine for me, for now.
e-ratic ( @e-ratic@kbin.social ) 14•11 months agoIf you have resist fingerprint on, or use Librewolf, then you need to disable resist fingerprint, clear twitch cache and cookies then restart firefox/librewolf. Go back to twitch, log in (remember me for 30 days), and you should pass twitch’s integrity check on login and be through.
This is what I do with my setup on Librewolf:
- Disable resist fingerprinting, disable silent canvas blocking
- Disable ad-blocking/tracking extensions - uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, TTV Pro LOL etc. (sometimes I need to do this for twitch integrity check to pass. This should only happen once during the authentication request).
- Clear cookies and site data (via lock symbol on the left-side of the URL bar)
- Close browser
- Open browser and login to twitch
- Re-enable extensions and resist fingerprint
oh, yes I have resist finger printing on.
xyz ( @abc@lemmus.org ) English12•11 months agoI am able to login just fine. Is your Firefox browser up-to-date?
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) 9•11 months agoohnoanyways.gif
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.
Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 4•11 months agoI’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?
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoExactly. 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.
ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) 2•11 months agoIt’s still bad, but not that bad if you always go to a specific steamer. But it’s easy for me to tell this because instead of the garbage player if theirs I watch everything in MPV
Brisolo32 ( @Brisolo32@lemmy.eco.br ) 8•11 months agoin my case my user agent switcher was blocking it
Programmer Belch ( @programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English4•11 months agoI love when pages tell me my browser is not supported and it’s just the agent switcher choosing win7 with internet explorer 8
mac ( @mac@lemm.ee ) 6•11 months agoY’all should check out twitch streamlink gui, or other alternate front ends, regardless. https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui
rizoid ( @rizoid@midwest.social ) English6•11 months agoWorking fine for me. Do you have an older version installed or a fork?
update: It still works with firefox, the culprit was firefox’s enhanced security thing in the settings. It works now after I disabled it.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 3•11 months agoA tale as old as time.
Hamartiogonic ( @Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz ) 3•11 months agoWait what. You can edit the title on Lemmy. Why didn’t Reddit have this feature?
Aatube ( @Aatube@kbin.social ) 2•11 months agoUseragent switchers:
ElectroLisa ( @ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•11 months agoIt works with Firefox. Doesn’t work with forks like FireDragon.
fourstepper ( @fourstepper@lemmy.ml ) 2•11 months agoGood for you :)
