Hi, Twitter is no longer working for me with the stock browser. All Twitter links I have tried, give the message below, I'm using Hossa, 3.0.3.10 on Sony X, with sailfish-browser.
Sorry! We did something wrong.
Has anyone else seen this?

For some other non-working sites, i have additional application laucher with customized user agent. Twitter seems to work with it.
sailfish-browser-custom-ua.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Custom UA
Icon=icon-launcher-browser
Exec=env CUSTOM_UA="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36" invoker -s --type=browser -G /usr/bin/sailfish-browser %U
Comment=Sailfish UI application
Magic happens with env CUSTOM_UA="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36" in Exec line
(This is old, works with 2.0.1.11, please feel free to complain if it does not work with 3.x.x.x)
So propably nothing wrong with the browser, just Twitter limited browsers they support - soon only with Chrome?
Have added a user-agent override to the browser just for twitter that's more similar to our real one but just drops the Firefox element. This lands you on the same old mobile site, and with a better initial warning banner too. Apparently these overrides get updated by the browser automatically every so often, so you should get that soon. There's still a problem here that needs solving - Twitter's new mobile site tries to do something with the browser that doesn't work - but it's going to take more time to debug.
(That old site is much faster though)

I noticed today by chance that it works fine again :)

I am not surprised. The browser engine is very old (March 2016)
Guess that it is also possible to tweak the useragent setting via the "general.useragent.override" entry available via about:config.

After the recent update, some pages started working again ( ampparit.com , for example) while others did not ( suomenkuvalehti.fi , for example).

I can confirm the twitter error on Xperia X with Sailfish OS 3.0.3.10 Hossa and sailfish-browser.
