Blogger uses third party cookies. I've started using a browser called "Brave". Brave blocks third party cookies by default. Some of the problems I was having were the "design" link at the top of the main screen was missing, I couldn't comment on some sites, and a few other problems I can't think of right now.
So I finally found out how to allow third party cookies on specific sites as in *.blogspot.com. The actual string I had to put in was [*.]blogspot.com. In the Brave browser, it was under; settings; privacy and security; site and shield settings; content - block cookies; sites allowed to use third party cookies. That's where I added the [*.]blogspot.com.
Everything is fixed, so far as I can tell. I can comment on everyone's blog again without having to go back to Chrome.
Other browsers may have a different way to get to allowing third party cookies.
Thanks Mike
ReplyDeleteWell done.
ReplyDeleteI have several sites that have a pop-up stating that "this site uses third party cookies", or even just regular cookies I guess and when I see that I click away. None of the blogs I regularly visit have this, the ones that did are no longer on my reading list.
ReplyDeleteNice. My problem, though, is that I have so many cookies that I've considered asking advertisers and websites to consolidate them into loaves.
ReplyDeleteLoL 😂
DeleteIt's nice to find solutions to problems.
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps anyone that's having problems.
ReplyDeleteI recommend the DuckDuckGo browser, it inhibits trackers.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I am wrestling with! I will try your solution. I may be back.
ReplyDeleteStu - Brave blocks trackers and ads. I don't know how it compares to DDG, BUT even with Brave and DDG, they don't compare to Chrome as a search engine, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteSusan - Whatever browser you're using should have instructions on the internet. This is all because Blogger still uses 3rd party cookies.
