# SafeTwitch
|
|
|
|
SafeTwitch is a privacy respecting frontend for [twitch.tv](https://twitch.tv/)
|
|
|
|
The main advantages of SafeTwitch are:
|
|
|
|
- Private: Every request is proxied through the server, and no logs are kept.
|
|
- Lightweight: Compared to twitch, SafeTwitch is optimized for speed and usability.
|

|
Or, you can find community instances [here](#instances)!

# Okay, but why?
|
|
|
|
It is impossible to use Twitch without being bombarded with tons of ads, multiple trackers, and enourmous page sizes and loading times. This project aims to fix these issues, by removing all trackers, have much smaller page sizes, and very fast loading times.
