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

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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)
