Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no "issues"; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox's container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it's disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

The Gods forbid I try to literally read something

The real question is why people keep using Twitter despite how impossible it is to even visit the website

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

because unlike lemmy where its usually about following topics, twitter is about following people, and migration requires said people who theyre following to also migrate

While this is true, I think if this is a hassle for most people, then something is very wrong with the world
