the minor frustrations of everyday life with computers
Yesterday afternoon Hotmail stopped working for me -- or rather, Hotmail stopped working in Chrome, which is a problem since Chrome is my default browser. After getting an unhelpful response to a support ticket (basically, 'the problem isn't us, it's all Google, go bug them'), I did some searching and determined the issue was probably one of my extensions... which is annoying since I hardly have any extensions in the first place and they're all doing important things.
It turned out to be my ad-blocker. We are all completely shocked and surprised. So I tweaked the settings to make it be nicer to Microsoft and whaddaya know, I can access my email again! (Fortunately the tweak didn't make the extension stop working; it's just gone back to blocking only the sidebar ads instead of, apparently, the entire domain. *sigh*)
