Still happening here

I am using Safari with "advanced tracking and fingerprinting protection" enabled; this is a privacy feature which prevents unique reproducible fingerprinting in browsing using things like WebGL or etc. I use this in concert with iCloud Private Relay to make it hard to trace me back to a single entity.

It seems to break KiwiFlare, though not consistently probably 80% of requests come back with "Received a client error in reply. Please try again."

Is this due to KiwiFlare making use of fingerprinting as part of its implementation?

I can work around this by using another browser but it's been bugging me. I recognize this wouldn't be possible to reproduce short of having a mac to test on.

I am also struggling to load images.

Also my notifications are showing me ones from two years ago but that might just be on my end.

Are you using Firefox? I'm suddenly having image and video loading issues too. Other websites seem fine, just the Farms is having issues. Clearing cache only fixes it temporarily. Everything seems normal in Brave however. Don't know if it's something with the Farms (media server setting?) or fucking pajeets at Mozilla pushed a shitty update.

Edit: And now it's working fine again for no discernible reason.

brave browser with a VPN and Tor....is ass right now
yeeted Tor so clearnet seems fine, I just prefer to use Tor when it isn't so shit
 
Bookmarks on the tor version link to the clearnet version of the farms. I request they link to the tor version when clicking from tor like other internal links on this site.

I’ve been trying to read the OP of the new Valkyrie Brynn thread but the page keeps crashing. It’s probably my fault for being on mobile but it’s frustrating regardless, and it seems to be an issue on pages with lots of attachments or videos.

Loads fine for me using the latest public build of Brave on Android. Have you tried a different browser?

I've been having same issue trying to make an op for a thread and its breaking the entire page if there is it has many larger archived videos
on it.

I think the browser is trying to load every video right away even though they are spoiled and further down the page.

This cannot be fixed reliably. KFlare needs to fingerprint you, so it knows it really is you. Otherwise you seem like a new visitor to KFlare, which is deliberately built to not allow reuse of access tokens.
The way it works that also has to be done before auth (otherwise login could be DDoS‘d), so KFlare doesn’t see you as a user, but a browser session.

FWIW I have disabled that Safari feature completely, it just breaks too many things for no tangible gain as an individual. A critical mass of users with this feature are great because they harm the tracking industry, but the individual has no benefit from preventing a website from knowing they’re the same guy that looked at a certain product yesterday. All sites where you have an account track you by account anyways. And the Feds can just track you by IP.

Got a strange bug when restoring my browser tabs after starting my PC where no account related actions could be taken until I attempted to liked a post, which resulted in me getting to this page:

Not really a big issue, but I've noticed a lot of small issues when re-accessing pages with a newly assigned token from KiwiFlare. Is there a place which is more suitable for small bug reports than this thread?

Well the combo of fingerprint protection and Private Relay (which presents a different rotating IP) with private browsing mode (a different IP per tab and no account / cookies) is the main use case I have. It ends up being a bit like a watered down Tor without screaming "I'm doing something illegal" and without a bunch of sites just blocking you on sight.

There's a bug where people can post profile messages even though it's disabled in the privacy settings (inb4 people spam my profile with gamer words). There's another bug, or at least severe retardation, with the TOTP implementation where the server's CSP prevents the inline script from loading a QR code.

JavaScript: 
    jQuery(function($)
    {
        var $el = $('#js-totpQrCode');
        $el.qrcode({
            text: 'otpauth://foo'
        });
    });

I have no idea why the QR codes aren't generated on the server side where they belong. I'm willing to chalk it up to the XenForo developers being morons, as some of their design choices are worse than a pajeet who sells WordPress themes on Fiverr. Also, jQuery is two minor versions outdated, not a huge deal but worth mentioning.
