I use it and Decentral Eyes and uBlock Origin but it does get tiring how often these extensions break critical functionality on websites.
Especially when I don’t discover the problem until I’m half way into a multipart form submission that can’t be refreshed, or an e-commerce transaction fails because it rapidly hands off between multiple third-party servers and one of them in the middle of the chain had some critical JavaScript path blocked.
I still do it but it is a pain.
- cptskippy 4y agoI've been encountering more and more sites that will only work completely in Google Chrome. T-Mobile and Motorola.com are some of the larger examples I've come across.
- zucked 4y agoAgreed. Between browser extensions and DNS-based products (PiHole) the number of websites that simply refuse to function is quite high. Deciphering which part of my environment is breaking the site is more time consuming than I wish.
- Night_Thastus 4y agoWeird. When I first used both of those years ago I had issues, but it's been multiple years since I've had a site actually break because of either.
- pmontra 4y agoNot so weird. I unblocked all the important parts of the sites I use most (examples: Stripe's, PayPal's and my credit cards payment forms that sites redirect to) but I got a problem recently with a site that accepted an order but failed to redirect to some different payment processor. I had to send mail to cancel the order and place it again with Chrome on the next day. All it usually take is whitelist some site in uBlock and reload because usually sites accept orders only after getting a payment. That one was optimistic.
