[Bug] Twitter plugin? "Loading tweet" everywhere

The tweets are there if I click on the loading tweet message to go directly to twitter, but the "loading tweet" is all I'm seeing here tonight. Didn't knowingly change anything on this end.

Hrmmm... I'm on the road and probably won't be able to look into this until this weekend unfortunately.
 
It’s been showing “ Loading tweet...” in Firefox for ages, but loads the embed in Safari just fine.
I expect it’s just the usual config/browser/settings/plug-in issue.

Yeah, I could never get it to happen for me in a situation that wasn't the direct fault of the network I was connected to.
 
Just saw this thread, I'm experiencing the same issue Blotsfan is, I'm on Android and using the Samsung Internet browser.
 
Now I only get the whitespace with the twitter logo, no tweet. I have to load it in a separate tab to read anything.
 
Yet I have ABP blocked on here, and I undid Ublock Origin because it was reducing some of my NFL emails to nothing...
 
Yeah, there's a lot that'll break when you turn off (or block) some of the scripting. An email can't just be an email any more, now it has to be an interactive, always-online multimedia experience that breaks if you don't allow all the scripts to run/embedded content to load.
Well eff that, I don't need you knowing if/when I ever open your email. If your email can't tell me what I need to know ACTUALLY IN THE EMAIL then I don't need it.

This is happening to me now and I can't for the life of me figure out what's doing it.

  • Ghostery - Turned off for HF.
  • Adblock Plus - HF whitelisted
  • DuckDuckGo - Turned off for HF
  • Privacy Badger - Turned off for HF
  • uBlock Origins - Turned off for HF
Unless there's something now in Chrome directly, I can't figure this out. And in the Chrome settings for security, I have it set to off.

Ironically it's happening to me now in firefox but works fine in chrome. Might be because I updated firefox recently but not chrome. I notice there's been a lot of new privacy/tracking cookie blocking stuff added into vanilla browsers, and if there's one thing social media things HATE it is privacy protection.

I updated us to the latest s9e media embed, didn't fix it. Tried disabling all the new firefox privacy stuff. didn't fix it. Lots and lots of other people on various forums have been complaining about this intermittently for years, though... not sure what the deal is.

Of all the...

It's lastpass. The new version of the lastpass addon breaks twitter embeds. I disabled the lastpass addon on my browser and it all started working again.

Oh that’s fucking rich. I have 5 privacy and ad blockers working and my password extension is what did it?!?

And now things are working again and I didn't even restart my browser. I dunno what's going on. Maybe it's because I turned off enhanced fill (which never worked right anyway)?

Did you do that in the extension settings? I don't see that setting anywhere.

My understanding is not everyone has it (they seem to be rolling it out in stages), but if you have it, the option is in your vault (make sure to open it from the browser addon, not by going to the website) and looking here:

Under "Advanced Options" below "view deleted items."

But don't worry about it because it's shit and it breaks fill on 90 percent of websites. Usually it tries to fill the wrong website credentials, if it even tries to fill at all.
