Google Chrome Blocking link to J6 Committee Report: Or is it just me?

[MedRxx]

NPR has a link to the 100 page introduction to the coming full J6 report at

https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=23466430-introductory-material-to-the-final-report-of-the-select-comm

When clicking on the link on that page to download the PDF

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23466430/introductory-material-to-the-final-report-of-the-select-committee.pdf

In Chrome get the message

s3.documentcloud.org is blocked
This page has been blocked by Chrome
ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

The link works in FF as well as in two Chrome based browsers: Brave and Edge

Just some random oddity of Chrome (108.0.5359.125 (Official Build) (64-bit)) on my Windoz-10 sys? Or some dark Google plot now that ‘Don’t Be Evil’ is history?

In any event, have just started reading the report. It reads, as (in completely different context) Gordon Lightfoot's song says "Just like a paperback novel; The kind the drugstores sell"

Normally at this point I'd link to this very evocative song; but the only link I could find out of Googleverse was Apple—another little empire.

So, here's a link to the Lyrics/Chords at

Download (if Google allows) and read the report.

1. .

Works fine on Chrome for me.

[MedRxx]

3. Danke. Ich fhle mich besser zu wissen, dass das "nur ich" ist

[atreides1]

2. Works for me.

[MedRxx]

5. Thank you also! Good to know that it's 'just me'

[marybourg]

4. It's you.

Works for me.

[MedRxx]

7. Clearly, guess was going a bit tinfoil--but it did seem possible. Thanks

But, with all that is going on...

[marybourg]

10. I know the feeling.

[MedRxx]

8. That's what my therapist says

6. Will it work in "incognito" mode? nt

[MedRxx]

12. Incognito Mode?

More marketing I think.

Don't even really trust

Must have something to do with this Chrome build, my extensions and Windoz. Truly, a relief.................

14. I have a Chromebook, which has no connection to any Windows software product that I'm aware of

No issues whatsoever, might be a windows thing as opposed to a Google thing.


Chrome is a Google product, Edge is a Microsoft windows thing.

9. Things like that I blame entirely om the complexity of the current...

web snd the cheekishness of some programmers and companies tp think they have a better way, or just saving money/time.

Fortunately, there ate alternatives, pain in the ass though they may be.

11. Well, it does say "blocked by client."

I'd take that as a problem on your end. If you copy "ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT" and paste it into your favorite search engine (or type it in yourself), you should find a way to fix it.

13. Thank you

"client" is the browser instance

The fix is FF. Which continues to be my main browser—but which will not work on some sites which only run with Chrome.

Reminds me of the heyday of IE

As you might guess, my favorite search engine is DDG

[GoCubsGo]

16. Yer welcome!

I prefer FF and DDG, as well. I mostly use Chrome for YouTube and shopping, as they are the only ones with the Ibotta and Honey apps. Otherwise, it's FF for me.

The heyday of IE makes me think of Netscape. I kind of miss it, but I think it turned into FF. Boy, that was a long time ago!

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Worked for me.

[ananda]

17. I use Firefox.

18. On my apple ipad, using chrome,

I was NOT able to download, only able to view. I could see and read the PDF, but did not have the option to actually save it anywhere.

I switched to safari, and THEN I got all the normal options to save to files,etc.

19. works for me.
