Fixing Xcom Errors From Browser Privacy Extensions

Understanding the X.com Error

If you've recently tried to use x.com and were met with the message, "Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot," you're not alone. This is a common script loading error that can prevent the site from working correctly.

The Likely Culprit Your Privacy Extensions

The platform itself provides a major clue as to the cause. Alongside the initial error, you will likely see a more specific message:

"Some privacy related extensions may cause issues on x.com."

This indicates that a browser extension you have installed, such as an ad-blocker or an anti-tracking tool, is likely interfering with the essential scripts that x.com needs to run. These extensions sometimes block legitimate content by mistake while trying to protect your privacy.

How to Fix The Issue

The solution is straightforward. As the message suggests, you should try disabling your privacy-related extensions and then attempt to load the page again. You can usually do this through your browser's extension management panel. For a less permanent solution, you can often "whitelist" x.com within the extension's settings, which tells it not to run on that specific website. After disabling the extension or whitelisting the site, refresh the page to see if the problem is resolved.
