I’ve been having serious difficulties looking at Twitter in a browser. TEXOKIE seems to have been having a similar problem.

Symptoms: Everything ok, then suddenly Twitter pages won’t load. Browser with Twitter just hangs. Closing the browser windows with T in them does not fix the problem. Closing the browser entirely fixes it. Deleting the T cookies fixes it.

I *believe* (but don’t know) that they have changed their cookies. I’m assuming they are spying on us more and more. I have 2 guesses about the cookies: 1. The hangs are deliberate in order to slow us down. 2. They have inserted more spyware into their cookies/process, but there is an inadvertent bug which causes it to hang.

I followed your suggestion to close out my browser of any open tabs (windows) and restart. That did the trick!

Your thought about the change in cookie policy seems plausible to me....but I’m not technologically gifted, so what do I know? [I confess ignorance in how to look at the cookie monitor and know what I’m looking at!...and at this moment in time, I am blissful in my ignorance! LOL! I’m just grateful you had the effective suggestion!]

Thanks for getting me back on track so I don’t have my nose pressed to the window any more when I look at all the twitter links we have on Q and our threads!

serious question: are you logged into twitter? I only browse and haven’t seen any issues.
