Hey,
More and more often, when I try to access Lichess.org through the Mozilla Firefox browser, it bugs: I see the page, with the big knight logo in the middle, but the squares with different timing options to launch a game aren't visible, and when I try to click on buttons on the side to launch a game, they just don't work. Each time this happens, I then try to get to the website through Microsoft Edge, and it works perfectly fine, so I guess it's related to Firefox (but all other sites work fine when I use Firefox). I can send a screenshot if required but it's not possible to upload it in this post.
I hope someone can fix this, good luck

I confirm. It used to happen once in a while, but since yesterday, it's systematic

Emmm lol that’s new
Do you have any extension enabled?
And do you have any errors when you go to https://lichess.org/#debug ?

If you go to this link, there should be a popup with a list of console errors etc. and a send to lichess buttong

The link sends me to the usual page with the same bug.
The popup doesn't pop up ^^
even without the ublock extension

My best guess is that some firefox settings is the issue. I am not sure what, maybe disabling JavaScript or something like that?
Does Lichess work in incognito mode?

Wow! It does work in incognito mode, I mean on a private window of firefox (I guess it's the same)
timid hearth
Yeah, so probably some firefox setting indeed , since we ruled out extensions.
I am not too familiar with them through, so not sure which one you should try turning off
sleek briar
Ok. I'll try to experiment with settings in the afternoon, I'll tell you later if it works. Thanks a lot

DAMN WTF
bro can see the resolution of my screen
wait lol i am going to use a useragent switcher and play on a smart fridge i wonder what lichess mods will think when they see that lol
wait nv
im going to do an xbox
lol lets play bullet on this
timid hearth
Mods can’t see all that. It’s why the debug has a send to lichess button, as we don’t have the info
edgy heath
oh damn
timid hearth
But yes, website can read quite a lot more than most realize.
timid hearth
What is pretty common, i think, is that you take a bunch of this info. Then hash it into a single value.
edgy heath
meh
you can bypass that pretty easy then
vpn, fingerprint spoofer, useragent switcher, etc
timid hearth
On lichess specifically, what mods can see depends on permissions. Some can see IP’s .
edgy heath
then how do you ban them then

This is getting a bit off-topic through, but you can look at the source code all you want. Or do the gitpod dev env to try things
