Amazon Kindle books issue on Google Chrome
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so apologies if not. I always buy my Kindle ebooks through the Amazon website on Google Chrome. However, for a while now something strange has been happening. When one clicks the "Buy Now" button, it should go through to the payment verification page, which should then go through to the "Thank you" page that confirms your purchase, with various other download options.
Yet on my Chrome browser, when I click the "Buy Now" button, instead of this happening, I get a blank page with the address bar as shown in the attached image. It only happens on my Google Chrome browser. On Safari, it does everything as it should. I don't know what I can do to sort this out. Last edited by Waylander; 03-16-2024 at 07:00 AM. |

Chrome is Google spyware anyway. Likely it's a setting.
Chromium and Firefox work. Even ancient Waterfox Classic works. As Safari works, the problem is a Google Chrome setting or plug-in. |

It's likely one of your extension is causing problem.

No such issue with Chrome here.

chromium also sends information to google. I use a chromium fork that has those sections of code removed or blocked from execution. When I enable to setting "to always ask" where to store downloads, "download for transfer over USB" fails even though a "success" message is displayed and no dialog appears to chooose a download. If I change the setting to automatically save D&T works. Until some months or maybe a yyear ago the "always ask" worked fine. |

I only use Chromium for Gmail and Google Translate, otherwise Firefox. |
