I'm testing LibreWolf with a view to moving to it from Chrome, but I've noticed some websites don't work, for example: https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/

Does anyone know why this may be?

Thanks.

privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config forbids the websites to use canvas by default among other things, you can override it using site permissions

Does it work on Firefox?

[-] AnAnonymousApe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It does. I found a workaround. but it required changing settings. Librewolf is a little too secure for some websites to work correctly it seems.

At the left side of the URL bar you can see an Image icon, it's for manualy enable canvas usage for a specific website. Don't turn it off globally in about:config.
