Site doesn't load

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh, don't know what to tell you. Just tested the link and it worked for me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yep. Now try in tor* browser in strict mode. Not everyone can use unsafe browsers

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Morning I can do to help you there.

[–] derek 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What browser are you using and with what plugins?

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tor Browser. No plugins.

[–] derek 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Weird. I've tested on a desktop and mobile device. Both loaded the archive.is link via Tor Browser (no extensions) without a problem in both "Normal" and "Safer" modes. "Safest" mode fails at the CAPTCHA page but that's expected.

Maybe the node(s) you were connected to were having issues with that domain at the time.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Strict mode disables JavaScript for security. Archive.is does not work without JavaScript

[–] derek 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That makes sense. Not a misconfiguration on the site's end then. Thanks for the clarification.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 0 points 3 weeks ago

I would say that a site that doesn't work without JavaScript is broken, yes

Please don't tell Keir Starmer.

I would be surprised if Western countries aren't interested.
