So maybe this is the wrong place, and if so, I apologize. But embedded tweets aren't working. Not just on Atlas, but the issue is particularly egregious on Atlas.

Instead of Tweets, I get the following message: "Error loading tweet! The linked tweet may not exist, or you may need to turn off any ad blockers / tracking protection you have enabled.

Click here to open tweet via Twitter's website"

I turned off U Block Origin on Atlas, as well as Privacy Badger, but that doesn't seem to have fixed a thing. Anyone else encountering this issue?

I haven't personally seen this issue, but I suspect you're going to have to whitelist twitter.com (or whatever the url is for tweet syndication), too, in order to show Tweets. Someone was having a similar problem using Firefox and ad blockers.

Assuming this is happening on Firefox, in your settings ( about:preferences#privacy ), make sure "Standard" is selected, because Firefox's advanced privacy controls will prevent the script Twitter uses from loading. Otherwise, you'll probably need to whitelist Twitter and/or more sites. I know for sure that using "Strict" has broken embeds before.

Would this still be an issue with Firefox on mobile? You were correct in assuming my browser, but it's also a problem on mobile.

I've never used Firefox on mobile, so I'm not sure. I would assume so. Try not to use the strictest privacy settings (including addons).
