O/T but anyone else have problems with mobile.twitter on iOS? It never seems to work for me - just times out. Both WiFi and cellular. Edit: this is really strange. Tried opening in a new tab and as it was stuck loading (progress bar halted at about 1/4), I opened “view source” app I have installed. It showed empty html/head/body tags and upon closing, twitter loaded up immediately.

  I have a similar problem on my firefox-on-android: when I load a mobile.twitter link, it usually pinwheels for a bit, then throws up an error - either "you're rate limited" or just "something went wrong" (or, occasionally, it just pinwheels forever); then, regardless of which way it failed, loading the page a second time almost always works - but only if I do a proper reload from the browser UI, the in-page "try again" button doesn't help. I figure something's timing out on the first attempt, but various bits get downloaded & cached before it fails, meaning the second try runs fast enough to not hit the same timeout.

    It's a referer header issue. Caused by the mitigation in https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/insights/2018/twitter_silhouette.html https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/insights/2...

  Typically need to reload. Twitter needs to recognize the referer header which doesn't work properly on some platforms, if you reload from Twitter the header is fine.
