For some months now attempting to complete an online Tesco shop is
(too often) periodically met with errors. This is when using either
Firefox or Chrome on one of several PC.
Until today I just grinned and kept trying until it came right.
Often the process will freeze during sign in, or throw up a " secure connection failed" when attempting to Checkout, or freeze right at the
last after entering the Visa security code.
This has been my variety of experiences most of this afternoon.
For the first time I then reluctantly tried it on the smartphone and
it went through perfectly at first attempt.
This phone is using WiFi through the same network router as the cabled
Pcs.
I suppose it could be a coincidence but I don't think it is.
Any suggestions?

Got any privacy/adblockers/antimalware type stuff enabled on the PC?
Try a blank new profile in FF/Chrome and see what happens.

I had that problem with FF so I tried Edge and it worked perfectly. I suspect it's something to do with privacy settings in FF.

I use FF successfully for Tesco online shopping - but do indeed have to
allow a lot scripts/trackers/other stuff.
And like so many others Tesco seem to be focusing on developing their
app. E.g. the ability to check stock in stores is only offered on the app.

I haven't been too aware of the need to make extra allowances for
Tesco access before. And the thing is, ithe site is accessible as
often as not with the same old settings.

That's interesting, although I have a strong (possibly illogical)
aversion to perform financial activities on my phone.

Some, although I'll see if I can turn it off next time I go shopping.
I have uninstalled malwarebytes but still have it's folders and files
in my users directory, so I don't know the possible effect of that.
Kaspersky too come to that
Try a blank new profile in FF/Chrome and see what happens.
Thanks, I tried that. It didn't seem to have any effect.

Reporting what you haven't got in the way of anti malware or anti virus
isn't as helpful as saying what you do have.
FYI, Malwarebytes has both a commercial & a free version. The free version
is 'Resident' (on all the time) for one month then reverts to being an 'on >demand' scanner. The on demand version can stay installed without causing >conflicts with other similar programmes.

No need to enter any financial info. in order to use the app to check
stock. And the shopping list now even tells you which aisle stuff is in >which can help those of us whose memory isn't as good as (we think) it
was :(
