  • Hi Catlady, sorry you are experiencing access problems via Samsung;   I can only think of trying the usual things to try which you may have already done......   

    1 ) Open Samsung Internet: Launch the Samsung Internet browser app on your device.

     2)  Access Menu: Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner to open the menu.

     3) Go to Settings: Select "Settings" from the menu.

    • Navigate to Sites and Downloads: Choose "Sites and Downloads" from the settings.
    • Manage Site Permissions: Tap on "Site Permissions".
    • Select Website: Find the website you want to unblock and tap on it.
    • Adjust Permissions: Review the available permissions (like cookies, notifications, etc.) and enable or disable them as needed to allow access to the website. 

    Other tips:     Every now and again I completely delete all cookies/history to refresh the system;  bit of a pain re-entering all the passwords again but it keeps the system "housekeeping tidy"  along with changing your passwords every so often and even switching to a different email address if there has been an incident of hacking like I recently did on the Marks & Spencer website after the ongoing hacking fiasco.  They suggest all data is safe but I'd rather be certain  !!!    

  • Thank you so much Hazel for this, I have been away all day. I followed your instructions down to Site Permissions. There is only camera, microphone, location, no websites there but above is Website data, there were 100's of links there, I have never been in here before, still learning? I deleated them all (cookies)? But I still get the same message "The request is blocked. I have not completely cleared cookies/cache yet. I have discovered however that, I can go in via Google and then I can switch over to the Samsung website by clicking 3 dots and an option  comes up, to go over to the Samsung website,  that works perfectly??

  • CL, You're not alone having issues with Samsung, I do too, and random access issues. I went even further and did a master reset, to no avail. The community pages for me have never been blocked, but I still have big problems accessing them on my tab and phone. Not just on the phone, but also on the laptop more recently.

    I hope you manage to sort the problem.

  • Thanks, Mike. I have never had problems until last week. I was accessing  RSPB via Google and then switching to the Samsung  browser, as I liked it better. Tonight I can't get in via Google, but the original way is back working!! Grrrrrr.

    By the way, good to see you back Mike, hope your are doing okay, keep posting

    You're welcome.

    There will be another planned absence, it seems I may be undergoing some more surgery anytime soon.

  • Aw, sorry to hear this Mike, I hope all goes well for you, you can catch up once you are recovered, take care
