Here is a link to a post from a few years ago posted by Evilore about what viglink is and used for here on Neogaf.

Yes, and its the same crap on Skyrim Nexus pages so I just opted out from it for now.

Thanks for this. Fixed the problem for me. Now i can also right click on links and copy them with ease without having a long viglink.com url.

EDIT: I keep ads runing on Neogaf though, for some support.

You fucking hero

 

[sinxtanx]

embedded twitter images tend to not load

but only on dev edition for some reason

I don't care too hard, I use dev edition for e10s and tiled rendering, when those two appears in regular edition I'll go back

Note: the issue people are reporting in this thread is separate, it seems that something is going wrong with Viglink/Firefox specifically. He's replying to people just curious about what viglink is / how to opt out more generally.

Yes I know I started getting the same issue myself here today. I just wanted people to know what we are actually turning off.

I mean it is a way to collect money for Evilore and Neogaf.

Edit (addition):
And about the bold, its been this way for over a month over at Nexus, viglink script errors that block/freezes the pages.

Edit2:
I see that my first line could have ended with "what viglink is", as his post explains that, not about todays problems, my mistake.

 

[G0523]

Yep, got it here too.

 

[Slayven]

Was wondering why firefox was acting up

 

[El Topo]

Yes. I've had the same problem.

 

[secretanchitman]

Yes, on 48.0.1 using OSX 10.10.5.

Tried out the opt-out link and all is well so far. Thanks GAF!

 

[Amir0x]

Yup it has been bad all morning

 

[hateradio]

Seems like VigLink doesn't test on Firefox. 😑

 

[Apzu]

Yep it has been crashing a lot today. I hope the viglink thing works.

Thanks for this. Seems to have worked. I will opt back in when it's fixed.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Yup i'm getting that same error.

 

[mjc]

It's locking up quite badly, yeah.

 

[turmoil]

same here

Haven't ha a problem browsing GAF on Firefox for a while. At worst, on occasion I have had to open a different browser to see images that won't load(even after scriptblocker filters turned off).

Otherwise though, my NoScript+RequestPolicyContinued combo seems to be doing a fairly good job at preventing Firefox from locking up on most pages.

 

[Jason Frost]

Viglink is causing this?

 

[mintylurb]

Thought something went bonkers with my win 10 update. Couldn't properly browse gaf at work so I had to actually do some work today. Thanks obama

 

[Pokemaniac]

Weird, haven't noticed any issues using Firefox 48 on both Ubuntu and Android.

I do have some limited adblock filters going (not targeted at ads, only tracking and malware), but those don't seem to be blocking any viglink things.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I had this earlier today but it's fine now. At first I thought it was more Windows 10 anniversary + Firefox fuckery but I now I know better. Thanks thread!

 

[BumRush]

Had this issue on desktop Firefox today...but it seems to be fixed now.
