This is quite surprising as I have not seen this. I do get occasional dead buttons due to all of the privacy add-ons I run, especially No-Script, but also less intrusive ones like Privacy Badger. I have seen a few issues with sites taking advantage of some JS functions outside of the standard that Chrome has added and Firefox has not yet picked up. This is the fault of Chrome playing the old IE game of making other browsers notwork correctly on some pages. I also have to fake the UI identifier for some sites as they reject access from FreeBSD (Chase Bank, I'm looking at you!) or do the wrong thing. As regards chromium, I have deleted it it and will not consider ever using it due to it's massive data collection and its blocking privacy tools like No-Script. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 11:38 AM Dave Horsfall <dave@horsfall.org> wrote: > On Mon, 3 Feb 2020, Christoph Moench-Tegeder wrote: > > > You're right.
