went to firefox browser and did a blind test .

went to 3 search engines.
1: google
2: duckduckgo
3 : bing

the object of the test was to see which search engine would load democratic underground .
google and duckduckgo would not load du.
bing would . so if and when sea monkey totaly gives up the ghost i will use ff and bing to load du.

Why the search engine? I bookmark the home page and latest threads ( and my posts) Never a problem.

And I have boatloads of extensions to potentially mess DU up, but they don't.

Content filter? DU lets some fun stuff be posted.

I use FF almost exclusively, and Duck Duck Go is my search engine. I never have any problems, other than an occasional form not working properly in FF. This happens maybe once every two or three months, in which case I merely reload the page in Edge or Chrome.

BTW, search engines don't load web pages, your browser does.

want to check those browsers and see if something is blocking DU in the settings. I can load the site on all browsers with no problem.
