Do you recommend some or know how to find out?

To be more privacy-friendly ofcThey definitely exist, i use PurpleTV,but I can't say how privacy friendly or actually good is it (I barely use it)

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.

To be more privacy-friendly ofcI use grayjay to watch twitch as i already use it to watch youtube. It works fine. Their privacy policy.

possibly working with addons like ublock (vern cc has ad breaks)
and emote support (so chat isnt a cryptic jungle) -

To be more privacy-friendly ofcStream link twitch GUI is by far the best I have seen. Has chat plugin too (or uses chatterino)

To be more privacy-friendly ofcI 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)

doesnt mention privacy, it even lists telemetry as an anti-feature
In what way is the app more privacy-friendly?
-
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 -

No ads, open-source code

Not positive I mean an account will always be less private but I imagine you could use a burner

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)
