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.

          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)

      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

    You can watch live streams or recorded streams with mpv coupled with the yt-dlp program right from the command line! This is only for watching though, I am not sure about chatting, but as far as I know, Twitch uses IRC, so theoretically, you could join with an IRC client, but you might need an account for it. This last part might be less about privacy but more moving away from the website.

    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)

      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.
