Twitch, at least did, have a IRC version of their chat. So you could stream the video with like mpv and have irssi to avoid the browser, and basically have the full experience

    Aye, in the early days you could connect straight to twitch chat with any old IRC client. It's probably still possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has deviated too much to be a pleasurable experience. There are still dedicated chat clients. I used to use a Java based one called Chatty back in the day.
