It sounds like you’re using some kind of browser extension that is changing how your browser works and is preventing our code from detecting what site the game is being loaded on. I recommend whitelisting our domains. You should let your browser send ancestorOrigins or referrer to the iframe hosted by us. Once you figure it out, if you can tell us what extension/option was blocking games from loading we can look into adding a workaround for it, or provide instructions directly on the page.

Regarding the amp page, we had an issue where we believed the code and page we created was getting blocked by some networks’ firewalls, so we used the amp cache as a quick way to load the page through an alternate URL. There is no personally identifiable information on this page. I’m sorry you don’t trust amp, but we’re unlikely to change it. If you update your extension settings then you should never see that page as long as you’re loading games from itch.io. Thanks

I don’t understand how you jumped to the conclusion about us not trusting our users. We added the sitelock to prevent random sketchy game sites from ripping us and our developers off. If it’s not working for you when viewing a game on itch.io, then you’re right, it’s broken.

I suggested testing what extension is causing the issue so we can identify why it’s blocking it and implement a fix to allow you and others to play games on site. The only third-party javascript we load on a project page is going to be google analytics, but you can continue to block that if you’re concerned.

Thanks

But origins are not since they are part of security policies and checking for modern browsers. We attempt to read the ancestor origins of the frame, and only read the referrer as a fallback for older browsers.
