That's because you FAILED to PROPERLY "harden" your EDGE profile. Why in Hades would anyone that claims to undergo significant security/privacy/privacy "hardening" EVER ALLOW ANY BROWSER TO VISIT AN HTTP LINK ??? LIke I said, the ONLY reason that I could visit that HTTP LINK was by DISABLING some of my own "hardening" (I worded it as "let my guard down"). As I've also said, if you REALLY want to DISCREDIT a Chrome-based and CLAIM that "this site works in FIREFOX but NOT in CHROME", then that claim must be made in INCOGNITO comparisons! This is only a comparison of YOUR "hardening" between YOUR Edge and YOUR Firefox. Nothing more. Nothing less. Edited December 20, 2024 by NotHereToPlayGames
UCyborg Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 You people sure seem to spend a lot of energy configuring your browsers. Pretty sure basics work with default config. 1

Pretty sure basics work with default config. Doesn't really take much time and energy. Just knowledge of and experience in all of the browser's "configs". I suspect that you yourself don't even use "default config". ie, you have SEVERAL about:config/chrome:flag changes in your very own whichever-you-use browser.

My own "defenses" *FORCE* a 404 whenever an HTTPS site links to an HTTP site. It's really no different than "how" you yourself were "able" to get to that HTTP, your Firefox DEFENSE MECHANISM threw a dialog to PROTECT YOU, you clicked "proceed anyway". You had to go out of your way to BYPASS a DEFENSE MECHANISM.

Sampei.Nihira Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 (edited) @NotHereToPlayGames Although I am often unable to replicate the various problems, Webcompat, is full of problematic websites for Chrome,Edge,Firefox. Having at least 2 browsers installed limits these annoyances. https://webcompat.com/issues?page=1&per_page=50&state=open&stage=all&sort=created&direction=desc Edited December 20, 2024 by Sampei.Nihira
NotHereToPlayGames Posted December 20, 2024 Author Posted December 20, 2024 I am aware. However, it also becomes a matter of what web sites I ACTUALLY USE! I have to pay my bills. And if so much as ONE of those bill-pay web sites do NOT work in a browser, THEN I FIND ONE WHERE *ALL* DO WORK. Yep, it really is THAT SIMPLE. The only thing that is "bothering" YOU is that I can only find that in a "death to everything not Firefox" browser that you don't want me to use. That's also why "browser choice" is always always ALWAYS "relative" to the USER. I'm sure you've been around MSFN long enough to have new members ask, "Which web browser is best?" and my reply is always always ALWAYS the same, though wording of the reply may change slightly. My reply is always always ALWAYS that nobody can answer that but the user him/herself! Despite the thorn in your side, I have succeeded in my mission, ONE web browser for ALL of my web sites. And it is CHROME-BASED. But I am just as security/privacy-concious as you are. Just as I would *NEVER* use Official Firefox and all of its telemetry, I would use IceCat if needed. And by the same EXACT "due diligence", I would highly highly HIGHLY prefer to never have to use Official Chrome and all of its telemetry. I would use UNGOOGLED if needed. My mission is clear! I have NO INTEREST in "this browser for this, that browser for that". I shall be moving on now, we keep "talking in circles" and this thread has become (or already was) "just the two of us".
