    Long gone are the days when I used to read update notes for new features… No I just hope they don’t god damn force an update on me.

      I went back to an old APK of Twitch and refuse to update to the current dumpster fire.

        I use PurpleTV and it’s been great. It’s a Twitch fork modified to block ads, reduce bloat, and include customisation for chat, player and other components.

        Don’t know if we can share links here but the APK can be easily found online, still being updated semi-regularly. I won’t come back to the official app as long as I’m able. :)

          Cheers for that. I had other third party apps way back in the day but they lacked some features. Will check it out.

          They also leak your User ID and IP to a 3rd party.

              Twire is a great alternative though.

              https://github.com/twireapp/Twire

              And it only connects to Twitch! :) (Plus betterttv or alternatives in case support for them are activated iirc)

                is there way to watch stuff without using a Twitch account with it? I’ve tried just skipping the login process, but search returns no results when I search for streamers or games.

      Just use Free and Open Source Software!

      It can always fuck up with updates, but usually you just get more free stuff and it’s awesome.
