I don't spend enough time here to sift through the crap search function (which is just as crap as it was years ago) in order to find a solution to my issue, so as per usual, I turn to the community I used to engage with regularly.

Some (unspecified amount) of time ago, the front page of the web store seemed rather lacking. News was gone, other functionality was gone, and this was before I had even viewed other parts of the site where functionality has deteriorated.

My simple question is: why does the GOG store appear as a blank mess to me on Firefox, my preferred browser? Loads fine in Chrome (blerk). Whatever happened to accessible web design as opposed to this new-fangled Windows 8/Xbox showy shit that is all the rage?

Edit: I was so busy gnashing my gums in fury that I forgot to attach a screenshot.

neat-o

Lots of things have changed in the store recently, that's true. Nevertheless, I use Firefox too, it's my favorite browser as well and I have no problems browsing through the store pages. Have you updated your browser recently? Maybe your version is outdated and the problem lies there.

At least you're willing to admit you're too lazy to search for this or you'd see the million other threads about this exact question.

May I ask what version of Firefox you are using? The pages load normally for me on Firefox 64.

what do the scouts say about his power level!
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND !!! :V
what?! 9000?!
NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND !!! D=

Update your browser!

(Though from the looks of things, it may not be too hopeful, considering your window cluster is in that mode that kicks in when in low performance mode.)

PR statement: Not like it works on up-to-date forks of Firefox (like Palemoon), but yeah, as real.geizterfahr says, they basically want you to use Chrome (works on some ancient, unsecure versions as well) and for the rest, it's only the latest versions of popular browsers (minus IE). We also had a lot of threads about this issue this sale again as it obviously affects a lot of users.

The more important question: why does your screenshot still feature the old GOG logo/colours? o.O

Thank you very much for your detailed reply, as it answered my issues 100%, even some of those I didn't explicitly state:

1/ Yes I use pre-Quantum FF, as I have issues with post-FF57+(?) aka Quantum. Thank you for the understanding of why it doesn't work for me.

2/ I refuse to use Galaxy(and by that I mean make it 'the way' to use GOG) given the shitty history I had attempting to use it during the first year or so of release. It was a buggy POS. Is it out of alpha yet? I did update it a couple of months ago and found it very unintuitive and archaic when it came to chat functions

3/ Chrome/IE/Edge/ blerk.

Can anyone suggest a non-instrusive/non-collecting of personal data(besides what one authorises)/non-DRM shit to make use of this site with?


Maybe due to Barefoot Essentials?
Thanks for your reply. I used to use Palemoon, and I gather from what you said that isn't an option? If I don't wish to use Chrome (I will but not when I input or allow access to any personal data), refuse to use IE/Edge, and the same goes for FF Quantum, then to buy from this store I am left with Galaxy or pissing in a pond? No my "window cluster is not in that mode that kicks in with low performance mode". It's called the version of FF that I prefer to use.

Nope, currently not working properly. I read some days ago that Waterfox apparently does work now (or at least someone mentioned it) which wasn't the case after the redesign in October. Never tried it myself but at least the things listed under "overview" look good.

Ah, may be...I don't use that, so I wouldn't know.

tired of everyone complaining about the site. maybe YOU'RE the problem.
