github website strange behavior
Currently running 29.2.1 on linux.
if i click on my login menu in the upper right corner, all I see is
Sorry, something went wrong
Various other things on the page are showing loading spinners but never actually load anything. This all seems very much like it's cookie related, but when I set cookies to be as permissive as possible, there's no difference.
This is new behavior. Github was working fine, and then one day, about 2 weeks ago, I saw a notice about how my browser was no longer compatible and it hasn't worked since.
I'm running Cookie Masters and Ublock Origin.
firefox works fine.

Sadly...
Github is owned by microsoft aka.
I can confirm this happens to me too.
Re: github website strange behavior
If you want to make use of GitHub, you pretty much need the WebComponents polyfill for it.

(yes ironic it's hosted on github. Classic chicken-and-egg problem if direct release page links ever become unusable without the extension)

Re: github website strange behavior
Thanks very much!
yeah, I'm extremely worried about the future of github.
I sure hope people who have their code trees on github are setting up a back-up plan.
Microsoft will keep whittling away at it in all sorts of annoying ways. They are the scorpion.

I've also noticed some issues at GitLab lately.Moonchild wrote: ↑2021-06-14, 13:02If you want to make use of GitHub, you pretty much need the WebComponents polyfill for it.

E.g. this page, where nothing is displayed, except for the headers and sidebar:
https://gitlab.com/juanitobananas/scram ... /releases/
Pale Moon's console window says "customElements is not defined", so I guess they're going down the same road as GitHub?
If so, then perhaps JustOff's extension can be updated to "fix" that site too.
Re: github website strange behavior
Which is why we decided to opt for Gitea instead for our own use.
GitLab seems to just want to, stroke for stroke, copy GitHub. So they are also copying their design fallacies.

Re: github website strange behavior
verified that github-wc-polyfill does indeed solve the problem.
