The extension isn’t working

Fixes for a site that breaks with the extension on, a locked switch, or a popup that won’t sign in.

  4. Still stuck

A site looks broken

  1. Open the Frame popup on that site.
  2. Turn off Fingerprinting protection or Clean tracking links for that site.
  3. Reload the page. If it works now, leave that protection off for the site.

Blocking third-party cookies can also break some sign-in pop-ups. Turn it off on the options page if a site needs it.

A switch is locked

Another extension or a browser policy already controls that setting. Turn the other one off, or ask whoever manages the browser.

Signing in doesn’t finish

  • Make sure you’re signed in to frameprivacy.com in the same browser, then try again from the popup.
  • Approve the request on the connect page. If you closed it, start again from the popup.
  • If it still fails, disconnect the browser in Settings → Sign-in and security and connect again.

Still stuck

Remove the extension and install it again. Its protections work without an account, so nothing in Frame is lost.
