Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no "issues"; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox's container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it's disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

I've experienced no such issue. I use hardened Firefox for some stuff including Twitter, never encountered this.

Probably doing it in waves of users/countries

I've used Twitter like twice in my life and only because Bungie absolutely insists on providing server updates when they're down solely and exclusively on Twitter only.

In the destiny community it's a point of contention. But then again if you're part of the destiny community literally everything is a point of contention.

Then just... enable the containers in private tabs? The option is right there in the extensions menu.

What's up with all the posts about this porn site?

Find another platform if you don't like it. I don't use Twitter anymore just because I found other platforms I prefer.

Twatter is for rubes. Who cares?

We're getting closer and closer to the complete destruction of this worthless shithole, keep it up elon!

Unfortunately, shaking off users who are digitally conscious enough to use Firefox (and recommend alternatives) probably improves Twitter's odds.

Use Mastodon or Diaspora

Love Facebook container, but never tried multi account containers thanks for sharing!

Would love for it to be available on the Android version

Twitter forcing me to stop using Twitter is an incredible galaxy brain suicide maneuver. I can't wait to see it explode spectacularly in a blaze of stupid right in elon's face

Every time someone writes x.com I immediately think they're talking about a porn site. What a shit rebrand. Or what a perfect name I guess?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

i just get flashbacks from missed point blank 95% hitchance shots

Porn sites are feeling discredited by comparing them to x-formerly-known-as-twitter.com
