Solution For Blogs with Embedded Comments Part 2

Like so many, I have been having trouble commenting on any blog that has embedded comments turned on. The work around which I wrote about as someone with my embedded comments to turned on was to turn them off. This allows anyone to comment using their Google identity.

But, it really shifts the burden of the problem to those with embedded comments used in their blog who might not realize that people are no longer commenting or may not notice the problem for one reason or another. Also, several people who have embedded comments on their blog weren't having problems going to other people's blogs with embedded comments and leaving comments.

Something else was at play here and after a google search, I figured it out.

Google or Apple apparently did an update to one of their apps and flipped a button that wasn't flipped before. If you go to Settings on your iPad and scroll down to either Safari or Chrome (I did this to both since I use Chrome) and look for an option that says "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking." This needs to be turned on. It was turned on in Safari but not for Chrome. Once I turned it on, immediately I was able to comment on every blog again, even those with embedded comments using my iPad, something I haven't been able to do the last couple days. 

I don't understand it other than I went from having problems to not having problems in a matter of minutes.
