Hi,
I am using Chrome with some extensions (I don’t care about cookies, uBlock origin…) and when entering a forum which uses Discourse I can’t scroll. The page is blocked.
I have to delete the cookies to get it back working, but then I’m logged off
Why is this happening? maybe any chrome add-on?
thanks

hi @davidrdguez welcome to Meta 👋 🙂
did you try chrome incognito mode to see if an extension is causing the issue?

Hi,
When I try to log in with the incognito mode I get an error message such:
It seems your browser has the cookies deactivated. It is possible that you can’t log in without activating them first.
Maybe related with my problem?
cheers,

that’s because you probably have `block all cookies` enabled in your chrome privacy and security settings. just enable `block third-party cookies in incognito` and you should be able to log in.

Hi,
I just checked and I have the third-party cookies in incognito activated

ok, i’ve been trying to activate and deactivate the add-ons, it seems this was the problem
Auto Quality for YouTube™
> **[Auto Quality for YouTube™ - Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-quality-for-youtube/iaddfgegjgjelgkanamleadckkpnjpjc)**
>
> Watch YouTube™ Videos automatically in any quality
Strange, I don’t see the relation between videos and a forum
I’ll see if it works now without the add-on
thanks

Also here they talked about it:

> Hey, so I have been using Discourse myself for a while, and ever since around half a year ago, I’ve been getting a consistent error on any Discourse installation, be it my own, this one, or a different one. The site locks down and I get the following console error: This issue is easily “solved” by Ctrl + F5 refreshing the page, and then allows regular browsing, but as soon as I reload it normally, by opening it again at a later time, the bug repeats. I’ve no idea why this is happenin…

Thanks. Saved me a whole bunch of time flicking the add-ons on and off. Disabling this Auto Quality for YouTube fixes the issue with all the Discourse based forums I am on. It happened on both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (fully updated).
When the add-on is on - You cannot scroll down in forums. Not sure how is the add-on making this happen but CTRL + SHIFT + R seems to be a temporary remedy for those that need the Addon.
Is someone looking into this? What is the addon triggering? Why does it break discourse based sites?
