1. I'm using Chrome and DU is working fine for me (MacBook Pro).

28. Me as well, but on Windows 11

[Lithos]

2. I am on my work system and thus on Chrome

It works fine.

What is not working for you?

[Jarqui]

5. +2 I tried it on two computers - both fine ...nt

3. Just switched to Chrome on an old IPad. It works for me.

[TheKentuckian]

4. No Chrome issues here.

Maybe make sure you have accepted recent updates?

Good luck.

6. Use Chrome all the time

works good here

7. Clear your browser's cache/history/cookies. That should take care of the formatting problem I'm

guessing you mean by "wrecked."

If that sounds like your issue, there are some suggestions in that post.

10. OMG that worked! Thank you!!

I just held down the shift key and clicked refresh and it was fine.

[TwilightZone]

15. Glad that worked!

Seems like a lot of people have been having similar problems.

[Saoirse9]

16. Thank you for spotting it

9. It no longer works in safari. Blown up to pieces.

But works in chrome.
All torn up and truncated in safari.
None of the fixes work.

[Lithos]

13. Safari works as well for me (OSX)

Have you tried the trick above with refreshing the files?

L-

[Irish_Dem]

14. I did, but no luck.

Maybe I don't know what it means to refresh files.
Exactly how do I do that?

[Lithos]

17. For Safari

Command + R: Reloads the current page.
Command + Shift + R: Reloads the current page and ignores cached data.

Try the last one.

[Irish_Dem]

18. I have been trying this and it doesn't work.

Just tried it again with no luck.

[Lithos]

19. Hmmm

Assume you are using OSx - if so, what version and what platform (x64 or Mx)? Or is this on your phone and/or iPad?

[Irish_Dem]

21. MacOS 15.6.1 Laptop

Does this answer your question?
I don't know what a x64 or mx are.

[Lithos]

23. Not quite

15.6.1 is a Safari update that was meant for older OS versions (ex: Big Sur or Catalina). This leads me to think you are running one of those. I am also guessing you are running an Intel based laptop and not one of the newer M1, M2, or M3 chips. 15.6.1 was released over a year ago (Aug 2022 time frame).

You can confirm the hardware version, OS version and the Chipset by clicking the Apple on the menu bar and then "About This Mac" - a simple window will open up.

Mine says:

MacBook pro 16 inch 2021
Chip: Apple M1 Pro
Serial Number:
macOS: Sonoma 14.2 (which means I'm one small patch behind).

I would defer to EarlG to what version of Safari is supported, but I will say that you might try and upgrade to a newer version of macOS if your laptop will support it.

[Irish_Dem]

25. macOS Catalina 10.15.7

It says I can upgrade to a Sonoma 14.2.1

20. Other thoughts...

Have you opened up a "private" window and see if that works? If so, then it's some sort of residual issue - cache, cookies, etc. which are impacting things.

Do you have an ad-blocker or some sort of firewall/proxy in place? If so, then that might be impacting how things get loaded.

Are you up to date in your patches and software components?

[Irish_Dem]

22. Yes if I open a private window, DU opens fine.

So does that mean I need to clear cache?

Yes it looks like I am up to date.

[Lithos]

24. Yeah, that is a cache issue

Maybe clear your cache?

[Irish_Dem]

26. Ok. I will try it.

11. What highplainsdem and TwilightZone said.

Here's how to clear your cache in Google Chrome:
Open Chrome
Click More in the top right corner
Click More tools
Select Clear browsing data
Choose a time range
Select All time to delete everything
Check the boxes next to Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files
Click Clear data

You can also clear your cache by:
Pressing F5 or Ctrl + R to reload the current page
Or
Pressing Ctrl + F5 (Shift + F5) or Ctrl + Shift + R to reload the current page while ignoring cached content
Or
Right-clicking the Reload button in the upper-left corner, and selecting Empty Cache and Hard Reload

All I had to do was hold shift and click refresh. Presto!
