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.

Twitter is garbage in every way - techonology, content, userbase. Not worth using.

I just assumed this is because they fired all their experienced people and they don’t know how to host their website, so you’ve got junk coming from all sorts of domains in their attempt to patch something together that works.

Which means that Firefox works properly on that aspect. Good.

Seems to me like a good reason to disable x.com

Maybe disabling WebRTC, fingerprinting & use AntiDPI (like green tunnel or Adguard) will help

I think i figured out what cause this (seems they have script to prevent strict protection from Mozilla)

Stop using twitter for f*cks sake

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (11 children)

I made accounts on Mastodon and Blue Sky but most people still use Twitter, so if there's info you're looking for, or if you want to share things, you're forced to use what most people are using.

It really baffles me how often I still see it talked about. Especially on Lemmy. I never liked it myself but now the musk owns it, I would've assumed there wouldn't be much controversy here: it's dead and gone, move on, people.
