@grubernaut @Iketani Fortunately it's the new default!

If on 6.4/6.5, or I guess FreeBSD, you can start chrome with '--js-flags=--noexpose_wasm'
@grubernaut @Iketani Oh my brain filtered out Firefox, landry@ has a solution for that.. besides cranking ulimit -d datasize to absurdity (16G!)
@Iketani @grubernaut Oh this is actually something more-- it seems Twitch is playing favourites and checking for the User-Agent.. specifically, it does not like the operating system.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; OpenBSD amd64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0
If you change the User-Agent to be on Linux, Mac or Windows it works.

@brynet @grubernaut Awesome, that solved it for me :)
I have a support ticket already open with Twitch, will ask them about this.
A question out of curiosity: Is there a reason why companies do that?
@Iketani @grubernaut Not any legitimate ones.. there's many ways to do feature detection in browsers without resorting to UA filtering.
@brynet @grubernaut Well, I am looking forward to the answer from their support then
@Iketani @grubernaut The reason I didn't notice this before on OpenBSD, because robert@, the chrome port maintainer made the decision awhile ago to include Linux in the UA string by default:
