Another one bites the code

[ceagle]

Looks like today is the day Twitter decided to code itself off of my legacy browser :D

The error is alludes to privacy add-ons, in other words it wants to snoop more Data from me apparently and is upset that the browser blocks that :D

All I can say is HA!

Not that I was using it much, but that makes it a bit less attractive to use in the big picture.

It's very likely I can still access it through a different browser, which I'll probably try some day. But for now, Twitter/X I say to you... HA!

What is your legacy browser? I still use FireFox in the protected mode (so it says) with Adblock (if they haven’t scuttled it), but today’s update has f’d up my ability to have bookmarked pages load with just a few letters entered.

X … I haven’t been there in quite a while.

Hi there critter buddy! ^v^

Thanks for asking... in this case I've had GoogleChrome version 74 running Twittah for aaaaages. It's been fine until this week ;P
I really don't use it for anything else anymore in open mode, except Weasyl.com, Amazon, and the Bing and Google translators, although those last two don't work very well there these days.
Oddly enough... and I really mean ODDLY, a few weeks ago when I could no longer read GMail on my main legacy browsers (Opera and Vivaldi), I was able to see that Gmail still works (talon fingers crossed, knock on wood) in the Incognito mode of this browser... so I can still read GMail once again.... for the time being.

But yes, my main legacy ones are Opera and Vivaldi... on my phone too :> Love 'em! Also for the time being, Opera is doing well at smiting the worst ads on YT. I still see the starting ones sorta, but the ones that break into the middle of a vid are not there.
And Vivaldi is even better at interpreting some more modern web pages properly ^v^
In fact, I have to use that now to open Twiddah

I do like Firefox and I have a reeeeally old version for looking at old-school web sites :D
I have updated it in the past, but it has this funny thing it does with User Profiles that usually messes things up, so I reverted it & don't update it anymore on the ole W7 machine.

I hope that helps!

Librewolf. A telemetry free fork of Firefox that still runs all the Firefox privacy plugins like No Script, uBlock, etc...

Also, that explains why the notes I left on twatter didn't get a reply from you. Glad I popped in here to snoop, err, catch up on all things CE. :D

hey, thanks a bunch for peekin' in.. and the tip, sir! ^v^

I may just check that out!

Yes, oddly enough, Twooter was working fine up until just about one month ago as noted here, and because it's not just sitting logged in anymore, I have to make an extra effort to open it up in Vivaldi (or Librewolf as you noted), just like with BlueSky... Both of those interfaces are a bit CPU and disk-hungry, so if I just leave them open in a modern browser, they sometimes will play games and keep loading stuff until things are maxed out of memory.
Not to mention Tweetler is always so riverting that I wing up spending way too long there... I think I spent like 4 hours the other night...eeesh!
So I have to self-restrain going there too often.

Back in the days when just LJ and and Tweeester (and SL) were the only things really happening, it didn't matter as much, but nowadays not only duzz the computer run outa memory, I run outa time :D

Thanks for comin' by and I hope all's well!
