Does app.element.io still work in Firefox?
At first I thought they were blocking the IP-address range of VPN nodes that I'm using, but now that I've tried switching to a different one, I think something else is at play here.
It doesn't give me any meaningful error — it just looks like a blank page, the only error I see in the console is:
Uncaught TypeError: Intl.Segmenter is not a constructor
node_modules bundle.js:2
Webpack 21

Could this be it? 🤔

OMG, it's not just me and it's… disgusting:
github.com/element-hq/element-
Apparently, their policy is to only support two latest releases of Firefox and Chrome, so the fact that it had worked for me is just a coincidence!
The "that browsed is a year old already" line is simply priceless!
The most fun part is that this update coincided with the new FF ESR, so their solution is: just install the new ad-ridden FF — or Chrome even, what is your problem?😤
Oh my, this is such a trainwreck!

Yep, I have Nheko on my only Windows machine, Schildi on my Android phone — also doesn't have the problem as underlying JS frameworks haven't been updated yet.
And I use gomuks my other machines, most of them anyway — really like the TUI experience.

But Element was still indispensible for more advanced stuff that you didn't have to do often, but at times still did — like managing sessions of exporting room keys.
It would be sad if this doesn't get resolved 😩
