I really like twitch.tv and have spent hours watching it. But for reasons I don't want to go into, I'm forced to use a very outdated browser. And yet they managed to give me a really good UX over at twitch.tv.

Until recently, that is. Unfortunately, they changed their interface recently and as an effect my obsolete browser can't render some of their content anymore. It's especially sad for me, not only because I'd still really like to be able to watch twitch.tv, but also because it all used to work fine until recently AND the sites in question do not contain anything magically: it's simply that people's profile sites don't work anymore. But these pages contain the lists of videos people uploaded and without these lists, there's nothing to watch :-(

Oh, well. Of course the solution is simple: upgrade. But as I said above, it's currently not an option for me. So all that's left for me to do is cry.

And write overly dramatic posts to HN, of course.



What is your very old browser? That bit of information might, you know, help Twitch web developers reading this.


Well, yeah, I already contacted them directly when my browser stopped working with the site and they pretty much said they can't support stone-old browsers. Can't blame them.
