Tiny Hobo looks cute, but those eyes say undomesticated!
TinyURLs hang up my browser for sometimes as much as two minutes. I often skip following a TinyURL link just because of that.
I think that's the first time I've actually read all the way through one of Illiniwek's treatises. Pays to be 1st.
BeckoningChasm: Ace works fine in Brave...
MTF: Very strange but the picture only is half-viewable for me....
artisanal 'ette: Will you be able to do this at 86 years old? Or, now?
The black diamonds are eliminated by changing the page encoding from Unicode to Western (anything).
Of course, it won't accept comments then...
(YMMV)
siiigh!
Blaster, turn off javascript in your browser.
Do not compose long thoughts in the browser,
For browsers are flaky and unreliable.

Sefton: Composing in the browser again? Anything over two sentences, use Notepad or something.
Back on Opera 12, I would run with javascript off. It was easy to set exceptions for known sites. And I had clickboxes in the toolbar for easily toggling js, plug-ins, and cookies on or off.
Long reply to artisanal'ette - lost due to browser stupidity + fatfingering.
blaster: Is it just me or does this site crash Safari on iPad like crazy?
NCKate: iPhone hates the site as well.
Bitter Clinger: Firefox still works on XP? I am hoping to get my desktop upgraded to the 21st Century someday, but meantime, I could try that. Pale Moon won't play on XP, last I checked IIRC.
Vic: "I just wish everybody would quit with the damn auto-play videos."
Y'know how you write a long comment here on the webpage and then accidentally hit back-a-page or something, and when you return, everything you'd written is gone?
Thank you, Polliwog. I would keep opening the tab, then losing it. THIS time, I'm bookmarking it.
One of the extremely few advatages of classic, vintage, antique Pixyware is that Opera Mini browser handles it just fine.
Opera user, Opera mini on this android cell sometimes just closes on its own for no evident reason. Not often enough for me to give up on it (yet), but annoying.
*tap tap* Is this thing on?
Before I depart, I just want to complain:
...Test to see if I get ampers with Pale Moon.
...Hmmmmm.
...Opera gives me ampers.

Don't know about other browsers, but handy for Opera are toolbar buttons to toggle on|off javascript & add-ons. Not native, but easy to search out.
By the way...
Opera browser?

»» Does Opera even work on Windows? —CanaDave
Yes.
My primary browser-brand history:
Netscape
Opera
@Ed Anger, first thing I did on my Android was load Opera Mini. Never use anything else.
Using Opera 12.x on the desktop and Opera Mini on the cell. Haven't used anything else since a brief search after Netscape became unusable. I do have Chrome and IE loaded on the desktop.
Try the Mercury browser. —Gran

Browser lost what I had in the text input box. Again. It's even easier to do on the cell than on the desktop. Browsers are stupid, inferior software, and always have been. I hate bad programming.
Process for launching a text link in a new tab from an Ace of Spades HQ comment on the iClone cell running Opera Mini:
1. Press & hollllllld until link highlights, maybe
ARGH! Browsers that lose my carefully-constructed content from composition boxes make me furious. Dang programmers! Sometimes I long for the days of the solidity of MS-DOS ware. Sometimes.
