With javascript disabled for chewy,com I get a blank white page with
Debian 12 and Firefox. Allowing javascript seems to result in a fully
functional site.
All of my personal machines run Debian. I seem to spend more than half
of my working hours reading web sites. I don't feel like I have
particular problems in doing so.
It may well be that you have permissions like javascript and cross-site
cookies tightened up so far on Linux that some sites don't work. You
then perhaps go to a Windows machine with no such protections in order
to make that work.
Long term I would suggest that isn't ideal and maybe relaxing some
security features in your Linux browser might be worth it, or running
such a browser in a virtual machine, rather than having to have a whole
separate computer.
Others have made suggestions for getting links from one machine to
another. Pastebins, shortlinkers, even just a social media account that
you an access from both machiens (paste the link in a message to
yourself).
Myself I have also made use of findfox:
https://github.com/ayosec/findfox
This allows me to send stuff to a running firefox from remote places.
Example:
$ findfox list
L2hvbWUvYW5keS8ubW96aWxsYS9maXJlZm94L3ozeWk5dngzLmRlZmF1bHQtcmVsZWFzZQ__
/home/andy/.mozilla/firefox/z3yi9vx3.default-release
Now I know the id of the firefox that runs there (this id will stay the
same for the life of that firefix install).
I can load a URl there:
$ findfox send
'L2hvbWUvYW5keS8ubW96aWxsYS9maXJlZm94L3ozeWk5dngzLmRlZmF1bHQtcmVsZWFzZQ__'
https://chewy.com
And I can ssh in to my machine and issue that command and it loads it in
the running Firefox.
I realise you've got Windows in the mix here so perhaps that won't work.
Firefox of course does also have its own ways to sync bookmarks and tabs
between browsers.
Thanks,
Andy
