When you have to use multiple browsers because one place doesn't work

I use ProtonMail as my primary e-mail client. For some reason, I cannot get to ProtonMail to verify an e-mail that I used to register elsewhere. I keep getting the hourglass on Firefox. So I go a try Chrome and it's the same deal.

Of all of the browsers, Microsoft Edge immediately got me there whereas before hand, Firefox didn't have a problem. But it seems like today, it decided to shit the bed as well as Chrome on getting me to a place I regularly log into every day of the week.

I don't get it and it's stupidly frustrating at times. This is applicable for when things you've used for so long just stop working.

Sounds like “that one place” is put together by the lowest bidder.

You shouldn't have to do this much, but sometimes I have to erase everything but the passwords and bookmarks from my Firefox to get it to open Sharepoint again. Have you tried that?

Yeah, and this isn't just a Firefox thing - caching issues happen in every browser now and then. It seems like every other month I have to help a co-worker clear their Chrome cache to be able to log into QuickBooks again. Weirdly, the problem seems to happen to me less in Firefox despite so many big sites not being optimized for it anymore.

I cleaned the cache like 2 or 3 days ago. Even then, because of my browsing habit that would've made it go to a gig again, ProtonMail still loaded fine.

And not 2 minutes longer after posting this - ProtonMail worked. I don't know sometimes, I just don't with these things.
