much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
possibly working with addons like ublock (vern cc has ad breaks) and emote support (so chat isnt a cryptic jungle)
EDIT: added more description to my interest in the EDIT of the post
I honestly dont know, I never use twitch. I use the add-on Libredirect to auto use alternative frontends.
Could it possibly work to still participate in the chats (like i imagine a build in throwaway account for example) or does that break the whole concept of privacy? How does that work exactly.
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
doesnt mention privacy, it even lists telemetry as an anti-feature
In what way is the app more privacy-friendly?
No ads, open-source code
I use this, it's pretty good
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)
GrayJay
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)

Not positive I mean an account will always be less private but I imagine you could use a burner
They definitely exist, i use PurpleTV,but I can't say how privacy friendly or actually good is it (I barely use it)
