Getting warning for outdated/unsecure browser on Ebay.com
-
@Pathduck I didn't investigate too much but it seems there is a list of official UA-CH brands which is fetched by websites so, paradoxally an outdated client is not obsolete because fall behind the radar, while an upgraded one is blocked because is filtered out by webmonsters
-
@Hadden89 If you ask me, those WICG people should go jump of a
tall bridgesmall table. They're mostly Google employees anyway, no big loss."Valid use case" - sure, there's a valid use case for everyone to use the same browser as well, just imagine how much simpler it would be for web developers if everyone just used Chrome, or Internet Explorer!
-
Changing to Google Chrome did not work. resetting to default did. all good thank you.
-
@DanZellman Probably an ebay cookie already stored the unsupported browser information before the change. Btw, now it will work
-
This is the pop up I get when visiting Ebay:
"Oh No! Update your browser today! Starting June 30, your favorite sites won’t support outdated, unsecure browsers for online shopping. Update Now."
I clicked the "Update Now" link and got a list of the "updated" browsers. Vivaldi is not included. Will we have difficulties with Ebay in the future? Will Vivaldi be included in the "updated" browser list?![alt text](image url)
Thank you. -

@BriKyKo if answering the first time in a thread, do not forget to tell browser version and OS version (both see Vivaldi menu Help → About).
The current version is: 6.1.3035.84.
Select Vivaldi menu Help → Check for Updates. -
Hi sorry.
6.1.3035.84 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
I just updated today, so it is the latest version. I did visit the Ebay site after and the popup/banner of the warning was still there. Thanks. -

@DoctorG Im in the US on Windows 11. I simply go to my home page.

@BriKyKo
Do you use any privacy extension which changes user-agent (browser) id to a older or switched version?
Which user-agent is shown in Settings → Network? -
-
@BriKyKo What is shown for you as browser's user-agent at https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent/
-
@DoctorG I went to the link and this is what showed:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
-
@BriKyKo said in Notice when visiting Ebay about updated browser:
Im in the US
Perhaps you get this injected hint only for residents of USA.
I do not see it from Germany. -
@BriKyKo Thais is a regular and correct user-agent.
//EDIT: Can you check Settings → Network?
Should be "Report Browser Brand" as "Google
Chrome" and not more. -
Im thinking this is just a notice that will remain till June 30th. I know Vivaldi does not show up on the "updated" browser list but do you think this will matter? I will see on June 30th as I dont plan on changing browsers. I love Vivaldi too much
-
@BriKyKo Vivaldi is not shown because Ebay had not listed it.
But as Vivaldi is similar to Chromium/Chrome all should be nice after 30th of June. -
@DoctorG AAAHHHH it was set to Vivaldi. I changed it to Google. NO MORE WARNINGS!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!Sorry for the delay. The forum says I must wait 120s between postings.
