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)

I honestly dont know, I never use twitch. I use the add-on Libredirect to auto use alternative frontends.

I use grayjay to watch twitch as i already use it to watch youtube. It works fine. Their privacy policy.

For android TV check out S0undTV

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.

Stream link twitch GUI is by far the best I have seen. Has chat plugin too (or uses chatterino)

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