FYI - We have heard similar complaints after updating forums to 2.7.2: mobile site going completely blank. We do not have any specifics about the client OS or browser though.

[afbeelding] Falco: Firefox for Android is currently on version 88.1.4 I know but only 68 does support add-ons (I need Violentmonkey on mobile, to check my CD collection when in second hand shops). And it is also blank with the built in browser (Chrome).

Ah. Maybe it’s because I’m logged in. I will try to identify all the possible cases where it works and does not work.

Hi @sam , Discourse version 2.8.0, used here on meta has no issues, so no need to change Discourse code for this issue, I think. We just wait for version 2.8.0 and it will be fixed. Meanwhile we use another browser.

Well… you’re not the only one suffering from this issue @jesus2099 :slight_smile:

Yes but the mentioned fix would apparently be to serve a static read-only HTML version to those browsers. So I prefer waiting with no changes, as this more recent version of Discourse, here on meta (2.8.x), does work with those browsers in full featured mode (maybe thanks to transpiration).
