Browser Troubleshooting

Browser Extension Problems

Sometimes you might have trouble using Mavtrek with a certain extension or your browser set in a certain mode. Here’s what to check, if you’re having problems.

Google Chrome

If you run into problems while using Google Chrome, try disabling these extensions:

HTTPS Everywhere

• Read Later Everywhere
• TamperMonkey
• RSS Web Subscriber
• Grammarly (especially if images are acting funny)
• Running Chrome in Incognito mode can be helpful too. Here’s how to open an Incognito window.

Firefox

If you run into problems while using Firefox, try disabling this extension:

• Ask.com

Internet Explorer

Sometimes Internet Explorer can display certain pages incorrectly, and even tell you that you are using an older version of Internet Explorer. You’ll want to check if Compatibility Mode is turned on, as this is the likely culprit.

Microsoft has a nice guide on how to turn off Compatibility Mode.
