Twitter

Does anyone know why Tweets aren't showing up on my browsers? Multiple computers. Just shows the little blue bird.

Apparently...and I know this from a friend...too many stops at porn sites, makes you not able to see Tweets.

That's not the case here. How close is that friend?

Well, that makes sense.

I guess twitter is just giving you the bird.

That's the problem. You're using a corrupted extension.
You should be using the Duck Duck Goose extension.

DuckDuckGo markets itself as a private search engine that hinders the ability of sites to collect information about your searches. I think this might be why certain links don't show up (Twitter, for instance). You could try to check your search settings and see if changing them helps. Just a guess on my part.

Do use a VPN or anything like an extension that blocks ads, trackers and malware?

It’s the extension

Within the extension you may be able to disable “privacy protection”. That blocks embedded content from social media companies which often includes tracking codes. I’m not on twitter, but if you are and are logged in then you might be able to see tweets even with this enabled. Not sure

I tried the latter and it didn't work. I had turned my Twitter account off earlier when they were really censoring political speech a lot. Seldom use it. Don't really care for the format. But info does come out that way quickly.

I'll just use Edge if I want to see something that's hidden. Spam email has improved since I added the extension. I don't get pop-ups any more.

You could also use a vpn service and then turn the privacy protection off. Not quite the same as blocking the embed all-together but it at least would mask your IP and you’d still get the other benefits of the extension.

I use Surfshark VPN and have to add sites to my whitelist now and again.
