Firefox Browser 87.0b4 (64-bit) Unloaded Assets issues. (Enhanced Tracking Protection to Fix)

Sort:
Zoele

As the title says, that update, which is a beta, for atleast all firefox beta stream users, causes chess.com to not work properly for lots of assets.

Enhanced Tracking Protection is verbatim by design and it's not new either but I don't know exactly why it's truly blocking the assets for chess.com now that are on different domains or wherever. Do I want to be tracked by chess.com? How would chess.com realistically know what other websites I visit unless it specifically loads my private cookies? Is there really some other tracking method I'm unaware of or is this really just a bug/glitch? Either way you know what to do to fix it. It's 2 clicks for firefox users. (address bar shield, "Enhanced Tracking Protection is ON [switch to off] for this site") Sorry other browser people.

I don't use a lot of features on chess.com but I have a feeling it will fix (almost) everything. Peace

I'm not seeing the issue on the same version of Firefox, so while it may be a solution, I don't think that is the actual cause. Based on most of the people that are posting, I think it is based on the CDN the site is using and something to do with the cache servers you're being served from.

Most likely that yeah. Something is being processed as a no good source. Of course I still don't know why and naturally it is only a subset of the users. I would prefer if ETP was on of course and I don't really think this is a great fix for the issue however when disabled it is turned off site specifically and ... I do trust chess.com. Firefox even has a report feature where it states "Blocking certain trackers can cause problems with some websites". I'm guessing there's a flagged CDN that is being used by chess.com. You'll all figure it out, thx for reply.

Best updated Chrome/Chromium based fix I have so far: Clear your cache (cookies and other browsing data, all of it, restart chrome. For the Site specific settings of chess.com, make sure options 6 and 7 (javascript and images) are set to allow.

All other settings can be on block or ask. (Set notifications to allow as well I suppose. There are a total of 23 site specific settings for chrome users, Privacy and security area)

All Enhanced Protection settings can be left "on"

Cookie handling: "Block third party cookies" is the highest you can go to.

Prefetch on or off for cookies doesn't affect this.

 

Tested on an updated chrome browser with no addons installed. If you're using other Chromium based browsers or other versions late specific version of Chrome or a Chromium browser, the equivalent fixes will work but you should consider updating to the latest version of your specific browser.

 

Firefox/Quantum engine best fix: Simply clear your cache(, disable some addons) and turn off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" (the shield in the address bar). Restart Firefox properly (no errors on relaunch) and it should work fine. Tested on 87.0b4 (64 bit)
