    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 recently switched to pop!_OS, doesn’t it come with the latest version?

            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.

        It may be the latest version but they just don’t handle user-agent strings very well.

      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.

          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

    If 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

      For me (on Librewolf and Floorp), it was just enabling WebGL, opening Twitch, logging in, and then disabling WebGL. RFP didn’t have any effect, at least back then.

    I am able to login just fine. Is your Firefox browser up-to-date?

    Wait what. You can edit the title on Lemmy. Why didn’t Reddit have this feature?

    update: It still works with firefox, the culprit was firefox’s enhanced security thing in the settings. It works now after I disabled it.

    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.

      It’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

      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.
