[opensource-dev] Did that new CDN break web profiles for all TPVs?

[Lance Corrimal]

ok interesting factoid here:

I've set my viewer to go through the tor network for web pages... and
blam, profiles load fine.

now if someone please explain to me why the official viewer and the
binary built from viewer-release load web profiles just fine without this...

0.o

Cheers
