mailplane not opening links in google chrome

I got a pitch from NextDNS and went with them 6-12 months ago and had no problem. I had no reason other than I got the concern that “big brother” was watching. I had used OpenDNS for years without problems and only switched when they went to Cisco. I know that finding a server is the function of DNS, but I had delayed getting into that because I was only having the issue with Safari and that seemed to argue against DNS Ok – Here is the solution on my system – but I can’t explain all the details. It has gotten irritating enough that I was just about to switch default browser entirely, but figured I’d ask here first -))

It is frustrating because it means I have to switch browsers regularly. I assume it is some privacy or tracking block Apple has decided is good for me.īut I cannot find any Safari setting that seems relevant – even with all privacy setting off. then copy is again and paste it in Safari and get the error message and paste the same link in Chrome and it works. I can copy the link, paste it to a pure text program. – it is NOT related to the email program (Mailplane) or email provider (Google suite) – the links are always long and filled with codes not words – but also in some links from non-profits relating to donation – happens regularly on links in newsletter where they acknowledge “we get a commission if you follow the link” – it happens almost exclusively on links in emails, but NOT all email links

It appears to be related to the link going to or through some tracking server The exact same link works instantly in Chrome or Firefox and not before or after in Safari. The message has nothing to do with internet connection. – Message that appears in mid-screen is “Safari Can’t Connect to the Server” and then it shows the whole link and names the server as the opening web address in the link.Ĭan’t say exactly when this started but certainly throughout Big Sur including latest release (11.4) on an M1 mini.
