mtbcRecently I've been wrestling a little with browser plug-ins. On mst3kmoxie's Debian GNU/Linux laptop she was hoping to be able to watch Channel 4's on-demand streaming service
Anyhow, I found that logging in on Dreamwidth wasn't working too well, Iceweasel complained about some improper redirection. The culprit turns out to be the Redirect Cleaner add-on that I use to copy links from Google searches usably. It's a pity that DuckDuckGo isn't actually as good at finding the search results I want. Still, I don't need to use that add-on often, so I'll just temporarily enable it when I do.
mst3kmoxie's Debian GNU/Linux laptop she was hoping to be able to watch Channel 4's on-demand streaming service All 4. I forget the details now, but under both Iceweasel (Firefox) and Chromium (basically Chrome) I failed to get their DRM'd flash Brightcove thing working. Now it's as far as complaining about her having an ad-blocker installed but even if I wipe those plugins from the actual hard drive it still complains. Video from the other sites she uses still work fine.
