Guest Posted May 21, 2024 Posted May 21, 2024 (edited) It may happen that if you log into the new Twitter you see this: Edge: The error message could also be this: "Something went wrong, but don't worry because it is not your fault": I tried with Firefox and the website is accessible: With Firefox I use restrictive Anti-Tracking protection. With Edge I use hard Anti-Tracking protection. So both browsers have the exact same anti-tracking protection. But only Edge's anti-tracking protection prevents the x.com site from working. If I disable it, it is OK. The conclusion is that if I have to use x.com it is necessary that I use Firefox. I opened this thread that might be helpful to other MSFN members who have the same problem. Edited May 24, 2024 by Sampei.Nihira
NotHereToPlayGames Posted May 21, 2024 Posted May 21, 2024 So Edge's anti-tracking works? Or is working "too good"? And Firefox's anti-tracking does NOT work? Or working "sufficiently"?

Looks like you messed something up, because it should. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1ctxa3v/twitterxitter_is_now_broken_in_ff_when/ "Twitter/Xitter is now broken in FF when anti-browse..." "x.com just doesn't work with the warning: "Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com" They've also enabled some form of mouse based fingerprinting too, with spoofers like MouseVader leading to glitchy behaviour." 1

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this sounds "bad" to me. ie, one can "google" without the gstatic trackers, one can "bing" without the azureedge trackers. One should be able to "x" without the x trackers. 1

Tripredacus Posted May 21, 2024 Posted May 21, 2024 For me it seems most of the issue is relating to Same Origin Policy/CORS and without looking too deep into things, it sounds like rather than provide a secure or compatibilty web interface, they instead will just show the message.

You definitely don't have any of these “problems.” I if I want to dialogue with some characters like Giorgio Maone,Andreas of OSArmor,Pedro Bustamante......etc. I have to use some channels. Period.

Period. I don't know what's all this off-topic, "periodical", "channelling" talk means. But I get a very similar issue when I turn on "extended privacy" (both Edge and FF) with DuckDuckGo. It simply won't let me search from my real English IP (London) anymore. 1
