"Browser not supported" rate limiting - Unable to clip or highlight VODs - When using Firefox and Chrome
When this occurs and I try logging out and logging in again I get stuck on the login screen to the message "Browser not supported" on both Firefox and Google Chrome (which are both supported browsers) until waiting another day or so to login again. Staying logged in on the same session I get restricted use of the site and is unable to create new clips or highlight VODs until waiting a certain period of time.
There is something severely wrong with Twitch website causing this to occur. I can only guess that this is a rate limiting feature that occurs after clipping and highlighting VODs too often within a certain period of time.
When this happens I have problems clipping like this which I'm pretty certain is related:

I help several streamers as an editor and when I get rate limited I'm unable to highlight VODs and have to wait it out. It's getting really tedious to do any work and I would really appreciate if developers could look into this and perform some sort permanent fix.
If it is rate limiting, or some sort of botting protection, can I please please suggest that you allow editors more lenience to reduce the risk of getting rate limited? When I clip and jump into the highlighter for 5 different streamers this is NOT because I'm abusing the server or service but because I'm a dedicated power user doing work effectively on the Twitch website.

To clarify: Clearing browser cache or swapping browser does not solve it.
The only solution appears to be waiting it out and logging out and in again whenever possible.
