02:10:15 And the daily broken website of the day award goes to... the Chinese OEM that made my new air conditioner: http://hao.tcl.com/page103 02:10:42 try to watch any of the videos there (because of course offering PDF manuals -as stated on the printed user manual!- is for dinosaurs) 02:11:17 they won't load at all on SeaMonkey, I only get network errors logged on the console and on the video players themselves 02:11:19 BUT! 02:11:28 they load fine on FF91ESR, as expected 02:11:46 (trying a UA override for video.wixstatic.com won't work) 02:11:56 even more bizarre: 02:12:35 1) Copying the raw URL of any of the videos (hosted by video.wixstatic.com) and trying to download that with wget will work fine (so no referrer enforcement?) 02:13:37 2) Sometimes at least one of the video HTTP requests go through (206 Partial Content), but will stop loading... but if you edit that header (well, do nothing - just resend the request), SeaMonkey will gladly max out my connection trying to downlaod the ~80MB videos 02:14:59 Also beware: TCL's site will try to resize your window for no good reason at all 02:15:36 VIDEOJS: ERROR: (CODE:4 MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED) The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. Object { code: 4, message: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." } video.6.0.js:66:45 02:16:47 relevant headers from successful FF91ESR request: https://paste.debian.net/1249857/ 02:17:41 ...and from aborted SM request (UA override set for FF91, but it seems that it's irrelevant): https://paste.debian.net/1249858/ 02:18:53 ...OK, wait 02:19:41 ...disregard that I'm a stupid dinosaur 02:19:51 forgot I had to whitelist the site on Flashblock! 02:19:54 D'OH! 02:20:22 (I got fooled by not seeing the Flashblock placeholders) 02:27:00 I guess that a possible improvement for video blocker addons would be a warning bar telling the user that "This page has videos from , do you want to enable them? " 02:36:28 https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/issues/68#issuecomment-1171379830 oh, to unf*ck GiggityHub this time, roytam's test version of the addon seems to work fine 23:07:50 What happens if I click on "allow notifications" in the popup? Is it undoable? What if I click on never? What notifications?!?!? So far I keep having to click not now because they keep coming back without explaining what it's all about.
