Blender.chat doesn't open in chrome based

Site Feedback

Since time ago I can’t open blender.chat with chrome or microsoft edge in windows 10 64bits. O’m not able to find the reason to that. But it works in firefox perfectly.

Hi, I cant open it with https://blender.chat/channel/blender-coders
but with https://blender.chat/
and choose blender-coders.
Edge and Vivaldi browser, cant check on Firefox atm…

Cheers, mib

Seems to work just fine on Brave/Ubuntu.

This has happened to me twice, once on an iPad and once on my desktop. The only way I could find to fix it was to clear cookies. Afterward I had to log in again, but otherwise it worked just fine.

Within that last few hours there is a privacy warning when trying to open the chat on Chrome:

Hi, this is different to the OP post.
The chat developer has forgot to renew the certificate.
If you trust Blender go advanced > unsave and it work.

I think there are also other problems in Chrome, since I can access the site “accepting the risk”, but it’s stuck trying to load the messages. Same happens with the Android app.
While on Firefox it synchronizes correctly.

I don’t know if somebody have read it and change something but after one month where I can’t enter in blender.chat something was change and I can enter the site, but I need to log again.

I checked again on Linux Chrome and Vivaldi and it work, independent of Certificate.
As I mention above it does not connect to https://blender.chat/channel/blender-coders
but it does connect to https://blender.chat/ then I have to choose a channel.
Same on Vivaldi for Android.
Same on Firefox for Linux.
I think it is a bug as you cant connect to https://blender.chat/channel/blender-coders
directly but were to report?
If I can catch the chat developer I try to send him to this thread.

I can confirm that direct chat links not loading is still an issue. Just shows a “loading” icon. Tested on both Chrome 81 and FF 76 for linux. There was no cookie to remove. I log in, problem solved. I log out again, the bug/feature returns.

Yes, loading forever if you log out and try again to connect https://blender.chat/channel/blender-coders
I will report now to the dev channel.

It is sort of a known issue at this point. you have to come via home page, not use a direct link to a channel.

14

OK, thank you for the information.

Cheers, mib

Having the problem too. Using Windows10 and Chrome. I have this error in the console log when opening the chat: failed: Error during WebSocket handshake

18

right…it’s only happening when we open a channel’s direct link and then try to login…so login from the homepage…
if you want to use the channel’s direct link, then simply refresh the page after logging in and the channel will load in seconds.

So, is there any permanent solution to this problem rather than using tricks to load the page?

23

This is fixed here, and has been like that for a while now. Logged in or out doesn’t matter. Direct channel links open.

I think chrome is now not good as firefox.
