Is Google chat disabled in Gmail if you use Adblock plus?
I just noticed that after I was messaged by a friend in Google chat, I simply could not respond. There was no text field to enter in a response. I disabled Adblock plus on Firefox, and the field magically reappeared. Is this happening to anyone else?

- cantbecool 15y agoI thought it was fascinating that Google could possibly deny usage of a product due to a third party plugin in a browser, i.e., Firefox.
- Jacquass12321 15y agoI'm leaning towards the much more likely possibility that the confluence of browser variability, third party plugins, and a javascript chat client clashed in a bizarre way. I've never had an issue with gchat related to ad block. Although back to your central point, I don't see why Google couldn't deny any of their services based on browsers or add-ons, it's certainly not a new concept on the web.
