Now The Plan Becomes Clear......
News2 mins ago
Specifically in relation to Mail Online. In Edge I can read all the articles, including the Mail+ that are supposed to be behind a paywall. I can neither read the comments nor post a comment.
In Slimjet I cannot read the Mail+ articles but can read the comments and post a comment. When I open an article to read it exits to the headline. This doesn't happen in any other browser, it exits to where I was.
I can't find another browser that opens the Mail+ articles.
Any suggestions, apart not reading Mail Online?

1. Clear Cache and Cookies
Over time, your browser stores a lot of temporary data which can slow things down or cause conflicts.
Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data.
Firefox: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data.
2. Disable Unnecessary Extensions
Extensions can sometimes conflict with each other or slow down your browser.
Chrome: Go to chrome://extensions/ to disable or remove unused extensions.
Firefox: Go to about:addons to manage extensions.
Edge: Go to edge://extensions/.
3. Update the Browser
Make sure your browsers are up to date as updates often fix bugs and improve performance.
In most browsers, go to Settings > About [Browser] and check for updates.
4. Reset Browser Settings
Resetting your browser to default settings can resolve issues caused by misconfigurations.
Chrome: Go to Settings > Advanced > Reset settings.
Firefox: Go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Refresh Firefox.
Edge: Go to Settings > Reset settings.
5. Remove Unwanted Toolbars and Search Engines
Toolbars or hijacked search engines can clutter your browser. Check your default search engine settings and remove suspicious ones:
Chrome: Go to Settings > Search engine to change the default.
Firefox: Go to Settings > Search to manage search engines.
Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Address bar and search.
6. Scan for Malware
If your browsers are redirecting or showing pop-ups, you might have malware.
Use tools like Malwarebytes or your antivirus to scan your system for threats.
7. Organize Bookmarks
If your bookmarks are cluttered, take a moment to organize them into folders.
In all major browsers, you can access the bookmarks manager via the main menu (usually under the Bookmarks or Favorites section).
8. Check Task Manager for Resource Usage
If your browser feels slow, check if it's using too many resources.
Chrome: Shift + Esc opens a built-in Task Manager to view resource usage by tabs and extensions.
By following these steps, you should be able to clean up and organize your browsers, improving their speed and functionality!
Turning off java in a browser gets you past many paywalls, but messes up other websites, so if done, best kept to one broswer only.
Maybe some of your browsers have java issues ?
Personally I only care about seeing links that other's post, otherwise I'd not use those sites, but it's too much of a pain to be deprived of seeing what another has posted, and obviously ridiculously expensive to pay for every website that might be linked to.
Thanks all. I have found that reading Mail Online in Opera with uBlock Origin blocks all ads and doesn't trigger the 'disable ads' banner in MO.
I can read the paywall articles by clicking 'reader mode' after opening the article and also access the comments.
That's interesting, fourteen, might be useful for some. My wife is more likely to read WaterWorld magazine than Prima and the like. :(
OG, I had tried turning off java and of course it does stop a lot of websites working properly.
