Hi,
In general - I was good for the time being till yesterday.
Couldn't accept cookies, mod my chat or do advanced tasks on my twitch channel.
I logged of today, 30 minutes back and got the: Your browser is not supported.
I cleared my cache and cookies. Nothing helps.
Thank you for your time,
housskaa

@houskaa They don't care, this has been an issue since early last year

@tauricc Yep, Twitch doesn't care and don't fix it.

@leocg This is an issue with gx not with twitch man, opera is a chromium browser so it'll be one of the many hard coded extensions forced upon us

@tauricc When you go to a page and it says that the browser is not supported, the problem is always with the page once it's the one not supporting the browser and not the opposite.

What Opera, and any other browser that is not supported by a site, can do is to try to contact the page and ask them to support the browser or use some workaround that may stop working if the page changes.

@leocg I already did contact twitch, they let me know that its a browser issue. Suggested things like running the browser with no extensions (which I can't do as Opera decides to hardcode them in).

If you watch the network requests, the browser is failing a an integrity check from twitch, meaning one of the built in extensions or features of the browser is tripping twitch's bot protection

The actual response is:
[{errors: [{message: "failed integrity check"}],…}]

It is not twitch's responsibility to cater to your browser's new features, Opera introduced whatever feature broke this, not twitch.

Chrome and Firefox are the only officially supported browsers for twitch, however it works fine with Chromium, UC, Brave, Safari, Edge, and even Tor.

@tauric If that is really the case, them they are sending the wrong information to their users. When they say that Opera is not supported, they are saying that they don't support Opera and are the ones to blame for the problem.
