Privacy Badger is a web browser extension that blocks sites that track your browsing history. While this is generally desirable, it can lead to unexpected behavior when blocking sites from which ZBrowse requires information.
Example: When you click on a gene in the Chromosome view with genomic linkage disabled, a dialog listing relevant URLs should pop up, but instead nothing happens. On closer examination, the Browser Console displays the error message: Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://legumeinfo.org/gene_links/medtr.Medtr1g007160/json. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
To fix the problem, click on the badger icon and set it to only block cookies from legumeinfo.org (the yellow setting), or to not block it (green).
Similar behavior may occur for other blocking applications.
