open.spotify.com keeps refreshing on my phone without loading fully.

Edit: Desktop mode doesn't work, it goes in refresh loop. Default mode works.

However, the seekbar is disabled for free tier, which is what I was trying to circumvent.

Works fine for me with FF 121.1.0. Do you have an extension that might be messing with it?

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I have Ublock Origin and Privacy Badger.

[-] driveway@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Privacy badger is probably redundant (probably because I am not familiar with the Android version).

Alright, I'll try without it.

[-] daddybutter@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Hm, IDK then. I have both of those installed and running and it's still working ok. Sorry.

Maybe you have to enable the DRM, thats needed by spotify, even in "open".
Maybe its not that,

Any reason not to just use Xmanager?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

+rep for xmanager. If you're on desktop use the spotify adblock bash script on github.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Can you login with xmanager? If so, is there a risk of your account being banned?

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah that's what I thought too.

I think firefox has a setting somewhere for making it ask every time it tries to open an app. Pressing cancel should load the page instead. Don't know what the setting is called though, or where it is.

I highly reccomend using Spotube as an alternative.

[-] flamingmongoose@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

I'm not having this problem but I do need to do a hard refresh with ctrl+F5 whenever I load.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Bro, this is about Firefox on Android. Anyway, check my edit. I thought that fuckery was limited to app so I was thinking of using via browser.
