I can't access DU with my Edge browser

I have to use Chrome. Kind of a pain-in-the-ass. ☹️ I originally joined so many years ago (A couple of decades. Original user name was Wolfie00) Never happened before.

The DU robot accepts that I'm not a robot and then it goes to a whited-out page that says this:



The page is prompted after only one visit to DU. No idea why it says size of header is too large. Maybe my VPN?

I believe this is a cookie issue specific to your individual Edge browser — clearing DU cookies in Edge should fix it. I posted a link with instructions in the other thread, but let me know if you need more help with it.

Like use a proxy, or who knows what, that only a MS expert might know.

In the bizarro universe, an Apple Safari user might be using iCloud private relay, which honestly never screwed up anything except sites that limited downloads from your IP address, which may be the heavily used relay's exit address. I've had this happen with vpn's exit addresses and have flipped them to get around this.

If your address, home or relay, is too hot or that address range is poisoned by one or more bad guys, stuff can happen, but this assumes some kind of relay or proxy.

End of wild guess.

I'm sure that may have some bearing. I'll just go with Chrome for now. Thanks though
