    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?

                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.
