Do you recommend some or know how to find out? To be more privacy-friendly ofc

EDIT: -possibly working with addons like ublock (vern cc has ad breaks) and emote support (so chat isnt a cryptic jungle)

-Primarily on desktop, but additional app welcome

-Possibly not even communicating with Amazon (like for YT for example only psTube does to my understanding)

QUESTION: Could it possibly work to still participate in the chats (like i imagine a throwaway account for example) or does that break the whole concept of privacy? How does that work exactly.

    I tend to use GrayJay. But i’ve never used it for twitch. I do however see there is a beta version for twitch on the app ^^ (it’s a all in one app so it does support YouTube, oddysey, kick and basically anything you can think of)

      also: anyone got emotes and other browser plug-ins to work on the player/site?

      Thank you for your contribution all!

        twitch chat is just a (lightly modified) irc server
        you can use most irc clients to chat, though it’s a few more steps to connect than using it in browser

      Seconding this, I also get a lot less ads with S0undtv and to get rid of the rest I just VPN to an ad free country and it works flawlessly.

          on that note, no chat logins in all alternatives mentioned. at least these that also list minimizing data transfer to amazon :(

          Would love to hear insights on why Mozilla with uBlock is worse than these front ends that dont specifically list minimizing communication with amazon efforts but only “no ads/open source” (i dont even know what what difference open source makes in that case)

            Umm I imagine they limit Amazon JavaScript. Or they could proxy if you weren’t the one hosting. I’m wondering what activity on twitch is so concerning for you? If you just want to “anonymize” your boring normal day to day twitch stuff you can use the one I linked along with a vpn (and possibly proxy to prevent being blocked). Enough in the way that your cringe commentary likely will never be found out. If you’re doing hardcore activism or something three letters would be interested in then twitch is likely not the platform for you lol

            The one I linked does need to utilize a headless browser to get an auth key because of how twitch handles auth now. It happens in the background without you even seeing but you have to set it up.

    They definitely exist, i use PurpleTV,but I can’t say how privacy friendly or actually good is it (I barely use it)
