Sitelock Update

leafo · 2019-11-23T06:44:00Z

Hello, We’ve recently pushed out an update to all HTML5 games that adds a JavaScript based sitelock. If it detects a game from itch.io’s CDN is being loaded from a non-itch.io URL it will show a warning and provide a link to the itch.io page. There are over 100k HTML5 games extracted to HTML on our servers. Although we tested as best we could, there’s still the potential that things break. If you’re having an issue with the sitelock then please leave a reply here describing what’s happening, and include information about your setup/browser. If you run any browser extensions please try disabling them and trying again before reporting the issue (include the extension that caused a problem). I'm a game owner trying to embed my game... You can use the upload embed tool on your game’s dashboard. Please do not use the direct link for our CDN. That is not allowed, and this sitelock will now block that type of access. Thanks

Hi! I'm using Waterfox. None of the browser games seem to believe I'm actually on Itch.io? I've tried disabling my addons; no luck.

Any idea how to fix it?

Hello! I saw this for the first time today. For months I’ve got used to open the iframe in a new time to avoid javascript sandboxing errors (indirect call to null and others) that prevented many games from loading. It could be firefox third-party tracking protection and/or privacy plugins that cause this. It was fine to get these errors when the workaround worked, now I’m not sure what to do.
