Dick,
Not quite relevant. Several video conference hosts don't support firefox.
And in my situation Chrome let me wander around the site but not join
that
meeting.
The other is Ghostery. I can't read a number of news sites with Ghostery
active. Oddly, I can read most of the Oregonian site with Ghostery
active
on my laptop, but it won't open their editorial cartoons link. If I
pause
Ghostery, then I can open that link.
Interesting. I use ghostery here and have for years. A while ago
oregonlive.com stopped displaying their weekly political cartoons
summary in
firefox and in other browsers. Now I use www.theweek.com/cartoons/
which is
what oregonlive linked to.
Cool. Better way to find those. Thanks.
I can understand a newspaper's web site having different ads or
trackers by
page, but not a video conferencing host. Then again, this entire world of
video conferencing and calls is new to me.
I looked at the source code of the last page I could access and saw an
explicit reference to ie=edge. This suggested to me that the site is
hard-coded for the new Microsoft browser and that Chrome on linux
hasn't yet
adjusted to that. Shrug.
Thanks for sharing,
You're welcome.
