MarkD 1 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hello again I have been trying out the browser extension in Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 1803. I have an issue with just one page - https://soundcloud.com/stream. This page has always worked fine (I've been using Soundcloud for many years). After I installed the extension I found that the play controls on the page would occasionally not respond. I uninstalled it for a week or so and everything returned to normal. Today I reinstalled the extension and the same thing happened. OK, so I can add an exception - but there is no way to add an exception. A new page appears and I can see a table with a 'Websites' heading and a remove button, but no way to add. I am unable to enter text on that page. Any ideas, please? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 854 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I would believe that exceptions have to be added from the notices that a page has been blocked. I logged in to SoundCloud using a shared account on BugMeNot, and tried playing a number of tracks listed on the page. The play/pause button seemed to respond fine in every case. How often does this happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkD 1 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Every day. It's OK. I've uninstalled it and will reinstall in a few weeks time to see how it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarkD 1 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Well, it was nothing to do with the extension. This morning the same thing happened without the extension in place. It was pure coincidence it happened after both times I installed it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 854 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Do you have any other extensions installed? You can try disabling them as well, and see if it makes any difference. If it does, then turn them back on one at a time to see which one causes it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkD 1 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Thank you for the suggestion. The other extensions I have installed - New Tabs To Front, IMTranslator and Privacy Badger have been installed for over a year. The only one that is regularly updated is IMTranslator. I will submit some feedback to the Souncloud posse and see if they have any further suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 854 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 You're welcome. Hopefully SoundCloud can help you get the issue sorted out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkD 1 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Sorted it. A while ago Soundcloud introduced adverts. After disabling Privacy Badger for the site, the Ads play and the controls are dimmed. Privacy Badger was preventing the ads from playing thus the controls remained dimmed. As I can't stand the enforced humour and you're not going to succeed and be incredibly good looking unless "Hey!! Do YOU want to get your music heard by MORE people...blah frickin' blah..." I just refresh the page. Extension back in place after this.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GT500 854 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 You may want to try uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Extra. They seem to be able to block ads on SoundCloud without causing any issues with their play/pause controls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
