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?

Not out of the box

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

most browsers don't support the strict security option firefox has

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

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.

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?

I stopped using Twitch since the Amazon acquisition. In fact, I don't use any Amazon services (except for some other services that are unfortunately hosted on AWS)

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't use websites that don't support the Fox.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it supports it, I just had some options that made it not work!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago

OK. Thanks for the clarification!
