@Angle@anticapitalist.party @stevegrunwell@phpc.social Yeah I prolly should take the time to customize it. A bunch of sites I use frequently (lots of older academic sites) it just breaks and hangs. It's a nanny app and I guess I'm too old and anarchic.

@thomkennon@mastodon.social @Angle@anticapitalist.party @stevegrunwell@phpc.social hmm maybe flipping off the "tracking protection" switch (it's per-site; if the shield icon next to the HTTPS lock isn't (IIRC) purple then it's not involved) could help? there's HTTPS-only mode but if that was your problem it would throw up a big "page is not HTTPS!!!!", not just hang. Same if it was an older version of HTTPS. Things on the page not loading sounds like a content blocker issue. Also, of course, if you have any extensions those could be doing it (we have uBlock Origin set to block third-party frames which gets rid of 90% of crap but sometimes breaks things), but you'd know if you have any.

@thomkennon@mastodon.social lol... maybe it's the sites that need fixing, ever thought about that.... ? you have old, broke, probably badly developed and unmaintained sites, but you choose to blame the gold standard for modern browsers instead. yet you claim to be an academic. I hope this is not the way in which you normally reason and work...
