After extensive testing on Windows 7, Windows 10 and several versions of Linux it seems that any Chrome engine based browsers that were updated in the last day or so will not play videos on Fox News. This includes Brave browser. CNN, MSNBC vidoes all work fine. Videos on Fox News work fine on operating systems where I have blocked updates to Chrome engine based browsers. Any browser that was not based on Google’s Chrome engine work fine to play Fox News video. This should be a major news story as it is clear that Google has done something with their Chrome engine to block the more conservative news site like Fox News.
Please try to fix this anomaly in the Chrome engine or revert back to a previous version. My Brave browser I normally use in Windows was updated yesterday 3-27-2024.
I have no browser extensions that are blocking anything and tried turning off all settings that can block anything. Also disabled WebRTC temporarily and tried about everything that could be related. Everything worked fine yesterday but today it does not work at Fox News. I have a very fast computer and video card with high speed fiber so this is nothing to do with slowness.
