@KarlVogel this is a fairly common occurrence if you're browsing with the "strict" fingerprinting protection setting in Shields, and is actually expected (the option mentions it may break sites).

Are you seeing this behavior without that setting enabled? Personally, I'm only able to reproduce the issue in "strict" mode.

[KarlVogel]

@antonok-edm indeed, seems to be caused by the "strict" fingerprint option. Changing it to standard fixes it (and also other sites I was having the problem with, like Google Sheets)

Excellent; everything appears to be working as intended then 😄
