Something's up with the site, at least for me. The table content doesn't load - I see the different options (email, etc.) but no entries. Firefox console tells me:

----

Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://secured.fyi/analytics/piwik.js”: naughtylist.html:1

The resource at “https://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/horizontal-slim-1... was blocked because tracking protection is enabled: naughtylist.html

Source map error: request failed with status 404 Resource URL: https://secured.fyi/assets/style.css Source Map URL: bulma.css.map

What's wrong with a good ol'fashioned HTML table?

I have problems with FF too (+uBlock Origin +DuckDuckGo Privacy). Loading the data from Google seems to fail:

  code	403
  message	Requests from referer https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1A3xz8NFWjebuMbGWvy2yUBKcnAmuZSs5JmKq9-JDss8/values/Email?key=AIzaSyCxiboNdLE5nSch2pdwI3blsfvfyss3Y0M are blocked.

Read my previous reply.

As you can see from the code in my post, the script runs, but the server responds with a 403 error. That looks more like the JS is doing the wrong request in FF. The problem seems to be the referrer. For comparison:

Referrer in FF:

  https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1A3xz8NFWjebuMbGWvy2yUBKcnAmuZSs5JmKq9-JDss8/values/Email?key=AIzaSyCxiboNdLE5nSch2pdwI3blsfvfyss3Y0M

Referrer in Chromium:

  https://secured.fyi/

Btw. I tried deactivating any Addons which might interfere with the requests but it didn't change anything. So probably all users with a modern Firefox will have an empty table.

I had to disable the "Smart Referrer" Firefox Addon to get the table to load in Firefox :(

I'll be working on re-designing everything from scratch, and not rely on my current jquery solution. It's a matter of how much time I have available, but it's a priority on my list :)

The table pulls data from a Google Sheet. When the spreadsheet is updated, the table is populated with data. You have to run the site's jquery, otherwise it's not going to work.
