    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 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.

      1. Which, legend has it, results in no ads being served via Twitch

          I 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

    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?

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

    It’s the enhanced tracking protection that is built into Firefox. Disable it. Login. Re-enable. Had this issue for months now.

    Have you set any fingerprint-blocking settings or installed any addons that provide fingerprint blocking? Twitch tries to fingerprint during login and will fail if it can’t. The Charmeleon addon for example is one addon I need to deactivate in order to log in.
