X reminding you not to go there

I consider this as a plus

Facebook does the same thing. If you have good tracking protection/ad block it will even make you type slow.

Everytime relatives share me their facebook links, I get reminded how bad the facebook web site is.

There's full page banners upon banners reminding you to log in before showing the 2- /5- /7- /20- second video. Some videos play automatically after the target video not even allowing you to replay the original if you missed something. Endless hours of engagement~!

It’s been ages for me but I vaguely remember something whacky like this happening but can’t recall specifics. Something about blocking specific scripts causing crazy rendering problems and yeah, something with inputs acting janky too.

The problem here is that you tried using twitter in general.

Enchanted tracking protection

How else am I supposed to evade witches and warlocks?

Seems like it's working as designed really.

Fuck xitter

But expect a LOT more of this to come. A lot of sites already break on firefox just because various things are sandboxed. But there is active incentive for them to disable themselves to switch people back to Chrmoium

Gee, I wonder why Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection breaks the site. 🤔

For me in the US a ton of sites break simply by using a VPN exiting in Europe. If they’re too lazy to comply with EU privacy laws I take that as a sign it’s not worth my time, so I’d likely do the same with this.

Same goes if my “ad blocker” (DNS blocking) isn’t “compatible” or I can’t log in because due to an oftentimes hidden Google recaptcha: no thanks, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Too lazy? You mean not ambitious enough to...

Always amazed people still support this platform with traffic and attention. We deserve whatever we get.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 17 points 5 days ago

Oh boy, that's a real shame.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

This shows two things important on the net: Firefox good, Xitter bad.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Oops twitter broke. Guess they better fix it.

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Add this to grease/tamper/violent/monkey.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Alternative front end, my friend.
