I suspect it's not supposed to look like this - https://i.imgur.com/hX6YMgb.png

It's not, might be adblocker or Firefox strict setting.

I have this issue too, with Chrome on Android and a DNS adblocker. Might be the image host or it doesn't load for a different reason

Can you please try opening https://kizie/co/YOUR_TWITTER_HANDLE and report what you see, thanks in advance!

All images coming from Twitter are broken. Firefox is counting images coming from https://pbs.twimg.com/ as trackers and stopping the load. This is with Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on. You can confirm this by clicking on the shield in the address bar, then clicking on Social Media Trackers.

Yeah that's a known issue and happens on any app that used Twitter API when Firefox enhanced protection is enabled, it would work on balanced settings.

Blank in all cases for me. With adblocker enabled/disabled. With Dark Reader enabled/disabled. On the homepage vs /my_twitter_handle. In Chrome, Edge, Firefox.

I'm in Australia. I see no errors in the developer console, or the network tab. Inspecting element reveals a bunch of divs, with no meaningful content (essentially empty) in the middle.

I am the original complainer and https://kizie.co/spacex renders perfectly fine.

i turned the dns blocker off and now it works

I have the same thing in Firefox. FWIW, I don't generally turn them off for new products that I'm not familiar with so if I hadn't come from this thread on HN I would probably have bailed out in a few seconds.

An update - It renders OK now, without making any changes to the setup on my end.

PS. This is indeed in Firefox with uBlock set to block all domains except for kizie.co, edgecastcdn.net and twimg.com.

uBlock and some other adblockers might block twitter URLs, I had issue with 1Blocker app as well which I discussed with their team and is now fixed.

Firefox strict privacy setting completely blocks twitter CDN urls, no way to fix it I suppose.

Thanks for taking the extra effort, appreciated :)
