Hi all,
Anyone having issues with Spotify free in a browser?
It was working fine in FF on the HP 15" Linux laptop and we were listening to some tunes via the Topping D10 DAC, but now it's just being unusable.
I did fire up Google Chrome also installed on same Linux machine and it seemed OK, not tested exhaustively.

I've done the apt-get update and upgrade to bring everything up to do, logged out of Spotify and back in, cleared cookies and site data. Nothing seemed to solve it.
Funny, I've had similar issues before and they just kinda went away on their own.

I'm guessing Spotify is updating web player code in efforts to play whack-a-mole with browser adblockers. In doing so have borked the low percentile FF users yet again.
