Lots of Websites Broken/not displaying in FireDragon

[Hamster1962]

I understand this is a generalised question with numerous fixes and/or workarounds. Suddenly over the course of the last few days a lot of websites do not display at all. These websites used to work in FireDragon and all of them work and display in a Google Chrome based browser. I have tried all the usual fixes, Clearing History, resets etc to no avail.
Has anyone else suffered from this?

What are those websites?

[Hamster1962]

The main two -

Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map | Flightradar24

Join Nextdoor, an app for neighbourhoods where you can get local tips, buy...

I know two is not lots but its a start

[FGD]

On the 1st one maybe this could be related

The 2nd one displays fine for me.

I have had some very very weird issues in the past 4-5 weeks where my tabs don’t load saying the tab crashed and I have to close and reopen the browser. I suspect, for me, some Profile corruption.

I wonder if something similar is happening to you, either clearing Cache and Cookies or rebuilding a new Profile.

[Hamster1962]

OK, thanks. My thoughts are that, to sell itself as a very secure/untraceable, browser FireDragon has made itself unusable sadly.
Back to Chrome for now uuuugggggg…

[SGS]

Work fine after changing the settings for webgl, no need for a spy browser by default.

[Hamster1962]

Yes, same here, I never did want to go back to Chrome. It’s handy as a backup though.

Truthfully a good back up is floorp. But for firedragon to use it on those cookie abusing sites you really have to change its privacy from strict to custom. And tweak to cookies setting to the 2nd from the top now twitch still will fight you but for that there’s floorp.
You can tweak fingerprinting and tracking content to make it work but I like to have one browser locked down for 98% of browsing and floorp set to average privacy for everything else.

Websites are becoming more an more broken to privacy folks. If i can help it i just don’t go to them. But we all have different needs
