Images don't load on mastodon.social
-
As the title: images won't load on mastodon.social. They load on other federated sites, such as dice.camp or infosec.exchange, but not mastodon.social. Trying logging out and back in, tried shutting off my adblocker, I'm using the most recent version of Vivaldi as far as I'm aware. Lots of errors in the Console, but I don't know how to interpret them. Any help or suggestions?
Vivaldi version: 6.1.3035.111
Windows version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045
Extensions: Bitwarden, AdBlock, and Omnivore

Those are the images that are being blocked - either by extensions, Vivaldi's Ad&Tracker blocker, a "security software" on your O.S. etc.

All of them?
Bitwarden, AdBlock, Omnivore and Vivaldi's blocker?? -

Bitwarden, AdBlock, Omnivore and Vivaldi's blocker??Yeah, the issue persists with all of them shut off. At least, I believe that top left indicates the Vivaldi Blocker is off, correct?
Also tested with my antivirus software turned off and still no images on mastodon.social.

@agentcarr16 Does it work in Private Window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and Guest Window (Avatar → Guest Window)?

No images in either a Private Window or a Guest Window.

@agentcarr16 If this fails in "Guest Profile" then something in your Operating System (or your Network) is blocking them.
Do you perhaps use a "Hosts File" blocker?
-
https://mastodon.social/explore loads images for me (checked with profiles running Vivaldi Blocker or uBlockOrigin/Privacy Badger)..
-
ERR_FAILED generally means something on your network is blocking the requests. It is probably not anything with adblocking (that would be ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT).
Have you tried in other browsers?
Do images open directly in the browser?
Over-aggressive Hosts file as mentioned could be a cause.
Or local security software. -
I found the issue. The comments re the network reminded me that I've had some issues with my DNS server blocking weird things in the past. Added mastodon.social to its whitelist and images are coming through now.
Thanks everyone for your help!
