I've found that third party applications like Orion are far better UI wise than Twitch. The twitch web interface always felt clunky to me. I don't know how they managed to mess up the interface but Orion (a desktop app) plays the video streams far better with no weird lags or stutters. You can get the source here: https://github.com/alamminsalo/orion or just google "Orion Twitch" if you want compiled binaries. I have no affiliation with Orion, just a satisfied user.
