Opening zeit.de site

Unread post by Haagen » 2021-11-15, 09:31

Hi,
Why am I unable to load zeit.de in Pale Moon? When trying, the browser gets stuck trying to create the button for 'Einverstanden' - that I agree to see advertisements when browsing the free version.

The has worked for me since forever, up to and including 29.4.1. After upgrading to 29.4.2.1, it stopped working, as described already.

You can't get into the site with Javascript disabled. I thought it is very well coded because they ask for Javascript and cookies to be enabled, and it simply works as advertised even on Linux ;)

Gentoo, palemoon 29.4.2.1, built with gcc-10.3.0. Workaround for now is to use firefox.

You can by using the googlebot UA override for Zeit.de as suggested above.

It's enough to block this script:

Code: Select all

..which is already blocked by kiboke's I don't care about cookies filter, btw.

Thanks for the info. I was able to replicate this with NoScript ABE. Will also test I don't care about cookies.

The fact remains that the site broke with palemoon 29.4.2 (I fashioned up an old ebuild for this particular version as there isn't one in the palemoon overlay). Do we know why, and will this be fixed in an upcoming release?
