As the title states, so far I’ve found two sites I just can’t open for some reason. The page just keeps on loading perpetually but that’s it.
I could access these sites from phone over the same network so it isn’t my network.
I tried disabling extensions like Decentraleyes, Ublock, Privacy Badger, Dark Reader etc., installed a new browser (Firefox) from the repo, uninstalled (and deleted their saved files) & reinstalled both the browsers but failed to fix the problem so far.
For some reason though appimage of Librewolf worked somehow.
Please don’t suggest something like- “Just use any Youtube Instance.” I want to fix this problem as earlier it was only Youtube but now IMDB also doesn’t load; seems like the problem is getting bigger.
Thank you so much for your time and if you require any additional info, do tell.
[SOLVED] Not really though. I just forgot about Timeshift. Fortunately it fix whatever was broken. PLEASE INSTALL TIMESHIFT; IT WILL SAVE YOUR ASS!
As I mentioned above I can easily access them via phone over the same wifi network. Also for some reason, using appimage of Librewolf also worked but a native fresh install of Firefox didn’t work out.
Earlier, I ran -Rns and uninstalled both Librewolf and Brave. Furthermore, cleaned every file left over in /home. Should I do it once more because this didn’t work out earlier?
If there is anything like the purge command in Ubuntu based systems which could help out, please do tell.
One more thing- I have to disable OCSP because otherwise I can’t access my network login page.
So some entity is controlling your network access - if you are on a corporate or campus network - perhaps even some public networks on libraries and cafe’s - they may have deliberately blocked access to e.g. youtube because they have a legitimate interest in blocking certain sites - in which case you need to ask the provider behind the login page.
