jtsom That seems to indicate the probem is with WebKit.

Someone should post an issue on webkit.org

https://webkit.org/reporting-bugs/

and confirm here with the ticket link. They are usually pretty fast to fix these.

    Are we sure its actually a bug with the engine and not a breakage by design that is due to it not being a supported browser. The scripts employed by the site will intentionally create fingerprints to block unknown browsers...

    I haven't had time to reverse the fingerprint fp endpoint yet.

      FWIW, Safari Technical Preview V166 has fixed the issue.

        Steps to reproduce: Tried to login with my account and got the message: "Your browser is not currently supported. Please use a recommended browser or learn more here." Tried everything from clearing cache to use "Compatibility mode" and nothing worked.

        Expected behavior: Log in as normal.

        Orion, OS version; hardware type: Orion 0.99.123.3-beta on a Mac Studio running Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1

        Image/Video:

          Merged 1 post from Twitch not letting me log in in Orion.

            We will be upgrading to same WebKit or newer.

              I sincerely don't know if it's correlated but I went in the settings > web sites > content block > added www.twitch.tv (block active) and now the problem seems to be gone.

              Last time I tried without this escamotage and had the recommended browser error was about a week ago, I do not know if in the mean time the error was already gone, anyway now I can use twitch with my account on Orion

                Cizzle4 I just went to try that and noticed that twitch.tv was already in the list, and set to "On". I removed twitch.tv and went to log in again, and got past entering my user id and password (got to the enter TFA code, which I never got to in the past. Go figure...

                alexkornitzer When to expect this release? And do we need to put twitch into block content or not?

                Good job anyway!

                  Ironically enough, I've been able to login with the previous RC (0.99.123.3.3-rc) for a few days already, either Twitch decided to do a little bit of trolling or there's a certain randomness to this antibot protection. I've just updated to .4-rc and thankfully, it's working as well 🙂

                    I don't know what happened, but I was able to login to Twitch today with Orion 0.99.123.3-beta. Maybe Twitch did something on their end.

                    Can anyone confirm that Twitch login still works as expected? Sounds like it was fixed in the 123 RC.

                      Still working for me, so yeah pretty sure we can close this out. Worst case can always be reopened.
