• Problems with payment through Google Chrome

    From William Unruh@2:250/1 to All on Sun Aug 7 19:40:14 2022
    I am having problem s with using Google Chrome on Mageia 8 ( and
    earlier). I use Lycamobile in the US as my cell phone provider. HOwever
    almost always, if I try to pay (ie fill out all the credit card info
    etc) on Chrome and submit it, Lycamobile claims that the transaction
    failed. If I then go through the same system using Konqueror or Firefox,
    the transaction works fine. I have tried to call my credit card company
    to ask why the payment was refused, and thay have no record of the
    transaction having been submitteed at all, so it is clear that it is
    Lycamobile that was unhappy and not the credit card company.
    Has anyone else seen something like this, or have any
    idea why one browser could fail to deliver credit card info, while
    another works?

    I use chromium-browser-stable, not google chrome with my online banking and test
    it with each update before it's released.

    Most badly developed websites use features that were specific to internet explorer,
    and now microsoft edge.

    You may want to try installing and running it on Mageia 8. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

    I can confirm that apart from a few error messages during install, it does install
    and works.

    My online banking works with chrome, and my payment to other web sites
    (eg Amazon) works. It is just this one site, Lycamobile, that does not
    work, but it does work with Konqueror and Firefox. ( I would rather not
    use Internet explorer or edge). I have not tried chromium.

    Not in this case. All though I was surprised to see the results from
    locate /chrome | grep -i kernel

    I thought it funny that the last two major firefox releases are causing me
    to always do a two factor auth. Got with the chase help desk and they
    indicated I had to delete cookies on exit as the solution which is
    odd since I had always set no cookies and delete upon exit.

    I deleted the .mozilla/firefox and no longer had to do two factor auth
    but the latest firefox release always requires the two factor auth
    yet chrome did not cause the two factor auth.
