Gifs are not running on this web site => https://thechive.com/2020/10/06/woodworking-mastery-is-an-oddly-satisfying-way-to-end-the-day-16-gifs
They dont run usually till you hover over - it recognizes the hover over, since it clears the “GIF” circle, but then just sits there when it should be playing it
Notes
- they worked like 2 days ago - if you go back in the time to when “this worked” for me, the “older pages”, those are not working - so the pages haven’t changed
- Other gif sites are working fine when you hover over
- This is a very aggressive site when it comes to ads, videos rarely play on this site, even with shields down. I have this site on the white list since it wont even let you see the page without ads being allowed
- I turned shields off, still didnt work
- It DOES work in a Private Window however when you hover over. So the raw functionality is there I guess
- Is also works if you right click a GIF and ask for the video address like this => https://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Woodworking-Mastery-Is-An-Oddly-Satisfying-Way-To-End-The-Day-Humanity-Lifestyle-Interesting-Beautiful-Art-Awesome-00003.mp4
if you go to that page, it shows the video player, and then will play it if you hit play.
-
So are these even gifs? mp4 files? But regardless, it stopped working when it used to, and it works on Chrome, Firefox, and Brave Private Window
-
I updated to latest brave, and reboot the browser, same thing.
-
The site looks fine in Chrome and Firefox.
-
Although, it does work on this page - some of them => https://thechive.com/category/humor/gifs/
-
And it works on Windows 10 Home 64bit Brave latest version
So it looks like it’s something on those pages alone on one machine?
