Hi, twitter links embedded in posts don't show up for me - I'm using chrome on desktop. They do show on microsoft edge though (as it happens they also don't show up on my mobile where I use the duckduckgo browser). Is this a known issue? Anything I can do about it?

PS just want to echo others and compliment all the team behind the scenes for the great job you do!
 
I think Sliper has a similar issue. Are you using add-ons in chrome like DuckDuckGo also(as you mention the DDG browser is having the same issue)? Seen another site with users complaining about DuckDuckGo addons interfering, or could be ad-blocker type software.

As laborious as it is if you can attempt to disable any extensions one by one and see if the links appear when you refresh the screen might help narrow it down
 
Cheers, I was using an extension called "DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials". Disabling this corrected the problem. Funnily enough I can still access the main twitter website, its just the embedded ones that are causing a problem.

I suppose now I'd better decide how much I care about what that extension does!
 
I mostly use safari to view... and sometimes (pretty rarely) links don't work. Just blank posts - but if I hit the reply button, I can see the link in text form. I haven't spotted a pattern when this does and doesn't happen.
