Would check on a new Brave profile, In general Brave doesn’t affect twitch functionality (unless its blocking ads via Experimental list).

Only time I’ve seen bugs is either Twitch itself, aka “Unsupported Browser” error or a buggy twitch extension

Profile seems irrelevant, as does clearing cookies/cache, did both. I also use twitch ‘naked’ (no extensions).

It just fails on the actions… this happened before about 3 months ago and an update fixed it, dunno what the cause was, and now back to the issue. I may just have to wait it out and use edge for twitch stuff (at least streams I mod, or when I want to gift subs).

does it work in Brave Beta or Nightly?

Hmm it works again, this may have been a payment processor thing and not brave at all.

Unsure, I can no longer recreate the issue, no reboots or restarts either.

Nothing changed here, probably twitch being twitch.

Glad I found this topic. Actually having the same issues right now. This week, I couldn’t sub to any channels. Couldn’t send bits or view my subscriptions page. I decided to clear my cookies and cache so it logged me out. Attempting to logging in again is throwing me an unsupported browser error.

Browser version is v1.76.73 and I am on Windows 11. I managed to log in successfuly on Edge. Restarting my PC didn’t help. Turning off the shield didn’t work. Deactivating all extensions…

Though I can navigate on the site while logged off. When looking up the call for logging in, server response returns unexpected error…

EDIT: Well it looks like using a new profile does it. What am I missing?

disabling any twitch extensions help?

I disabled all extensions regardless if it affected the site or not.

Try clearing the cache in brave://settings/clearBrowserData, just keep mind all the site will need to reload the images/text again

Is it the same as clearing the site’s cookies and data? This way I avoid having to delete all websites history. I usually click on the left settings icon beside the URL and delete everything there. Doesn’t work.
