Error 406 Not Acceptable
Craftyfox Posted messages 395 Registration date Status Member Last intervention -
Hello,
My homepage is: portail.free.fr, and this morning I have a blank screen with 406 Not Acceptable.
Even searching online, I don't know how to retrieve my homepage. I should mention that I have the same page working on Firefox, although with a different layout.
Thank you in advance

Hello,
In French, the server receives a request that it cannot interpret; the error may be on the server-side, but that's clearly not the case here because it wouldn't work with another browser.
The error is therefore due to the browser in question, cache to clear, faulty extension... -
Thank you for this quick response. But... since it's the first time I've had this kind of "problem", I don't know how to proceed. It's not critical, but it's still a dysfunction...
The error is therefore due to the browser in question, clear the cache, faulty extension...
Maybe a bit more detail? Please
Thanks again

You're clearing your browser's cache, I assume it's Chrome:

by the way, why use two browsers
You start Chrome without extensions:

possibly you try to connect to your URL not from the homepage but by typing it in the address bar
And you should locate the source of the problem, if it's the extensions, you will of course need to test them one by one

OK, thank you. In the end, I only realized that
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=fr&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktopI only deleted the last 24 hours and everything is working like before.
If that's all it takes to satisfy Chrome...
If I need to go to the other links, let me know.
Thank you

Well no, if it works we'll leave it at that.
I assume that Chrome allows it as well; personally, I configure Firefox to always clear the cache and cookies on closing.
The cache is meant to reopen what has already been viewed more quickly; it becomes symbolic on current machines. Cookies, on the other hand, are recreated every time you revisit a site, and keeping them permanently allows them to perform one of their functions: tracking.

Thank you for the manipulations, and also for the additional information.
Can I also "clear the cache and cookies on close" in Chrome?

You who see, but this is what I would do and I even go further in Firefox, I clear all the history including browsing; it's not paranoia, I am the only user and I have nothing to hide, only that I don't want the browser to annoy me with what I've already consulted when I'm looking for something else.

So, it's funny because it allows me to answer "why use two browsers?".
First of all, why not, especially considering what happened today, and since I am, like you, the only user, I clear the history of Firefox when I close it, but I keep that of Chrome. I have indeed noticed that it is sometimes quite handy when I've browsed through many sites and "sub-sites" (like Amazon) to more easily find something that caught my interest.
I don't know if it's fundamentally logical and of a technical essence, but oh well...

I always keep a backup of at least 2 browsers to get me out of a jam if one crashes and prevents any connection.
I have used two in the past, if only because of my Chromecast, but that's now broken.
As for the rest, I find it unmanageable unless we sync bookmarks/favorites, which is a pain, or if, as you mentioned yourself, it's a personal matter where we assign a specific role to each one that the other doesn't have.

Two words: there you go and thank you ;)
