Browser Recommendtion for Windows

I've been looking at Zen, which is Firefox with a different GUI, I haven't made it my default yet, but it may be worth a look?

may need to disable Brave Shields on a per website basis to make extra s***ty websites work with all their Javascript pish.

If you can't make it work with Brave and its anti-tracking features then the website is specifically wanting Google Chrome and or Edge and is therefore complete s**te by definition and should be avoided.

I'm certain it's a Royal Mail problem. I've had issues tracking parcels: clicking on the button after entering the tracking ID seems to do nothing, most of the time. However, sometimes it does work, seemingly at random.

This on Linux with a clean fresh configuration of Firefox, also with Google Chrome.

I never got firefox on linux to work with Barclays bank.

same browser on other platforms worked ok If you have a windoze VM try from there

Just fired up firefox in ubuntu in windows (fonts are a bit small and scratchy that way) but logged straight in and got account balances ok.

I get the same, but usually the RM tracking appears after a few seconds. Unlike most courier tracking, which put up a message saying 'we're getting the details for you, please wait', the RM site just looks like there's no tracking information until it suddenly appears. If there's a problem with the tracking database, sometimes it sits there doing nothing for a long while.

If you want a second opinion,

I'm seeing the same, using Firefox..

Thank you Theo, that worked after a bit of tickling :-)

It tells me "The consignment was sent back to the sender - refused acceptance by the addressee." All good fun since I enclosed a copy of the RMA. I am in touch with WD by email, they reply by return but seem to have no idea why it was rejected. They have asked I contact them when it arrives back and they will come up with an alternative.

There's already one more on its way with a potential six to follow all bought around he same time. Just a toss up if they expire before the warranty!

I wondered why everyone was having problems with royalmail vs firefox, when I don't remember having issues, so I tried tracking an old parcel from last year, and got no response to the [track] button on their form.

I tried it in Zen (which is re-skinned firefox) and it worked straight away.

So I went back to firefox, tried turning off combinations of Enhanced Tracking Protection, Ghostery and AdBlock, enabling service workers, clearing cookies and site-specific settings, force reloading the page with ctrl-F5

The closest I got is that it seems to be related to the permission for extracting data from canvas elements, which is usually a fingerprinting technique.

Anyone else's console log showing this?

Blocked third party

I think there's an element of "denial of service prevention gone wrong". The less often you try, the more likely it is to work ...

I've had that with Edge, so I had to track it on a phone with Chrome.

For Firefox I get: Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at

Trying the API url gives: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

Edge doesn't complain about CORS, but still seems to fail on the API.
