Do websites using akamai work with that browser? Try checking prices on Radisson hotels (their own website, not OTAs), for example. Do prices load, or is it only static resources which work? Same question for Marriott hotels, I can't see any of their rooms unless using an original build.

Both Radisson and Marriott work for me. I guess my IP address has a better reputation?

Radisson doesn't load on Firefox for me, only on chrome. Marriott doesn't load on chromium.

I'm talking about the rooms pages, they show errors when loading prices. Static resources still load.

The situation is similar with other websites behind akamai, such as US ESTA, the static resources load but all API calls fail.

The IP address probably also matters, indeed.

This is untrue, did US ESTA fully on Firefox. Not sure what settings you use but the problem ain't FF nor the website.

Firefox on Linux?

Tried on FF for Windows, OSX and Android.

There’s something up with your internet connection.

API calls which go through Akamai all return their default "access denied" or "something went wrong" html, my 1Gbps internet is fine.

I mean if Marriott’s site isn’t loading on Chromium, the problem is very unlikely to be with Marriott or Chromium.
