Problems Viewing Embedded Tweets?

Commenter N. S. Palmer is experience problems viewing embedded tweets at this blog:

When you post tweets like that, they do not format correctly. The text doesn't wrap to the column, but goes all way off the right side of the page. I'm not sure of the cause. I've tried a couple different web browsers and it happened with both of them. It's happened a couple of times before when you posted tweets.

How many are having this same problem? I know this issue has come up before, but I forget whether anyone had a solution. I'm using the Twitter embed code.

    I do not have that problem. I use Chrome.

    FWIW, I use the Brave browser for both phone and laptop.

    When I click a post to read it, the text of any tweets appears first, before being fully formatted. During this moment, the text does run off the page. But then the formatting kicks in and the tweet is encapsulated in a rectangular frame with text wrapping.

      That's probably not just the text but the embed coding which contains the text of the tweet. That's how it works for me.

    I have the issue in Firefox, but not the other browsers.

    For me it is a browser issue. If I use Firefox it does not wrap or show properly. So I decided to use my MS Explorer browser. Then the Twitter entries show up just fine.

    No problems here using Edge or Chrome. :-)

    I'm using Firefox version 78 (latest version) and no problems.

    No problems using Edge or whatever MS calls it's latest browser.

    For some reason I don't remember, I read your blog on MS and not Brave which I use for most web browsing.

    The twitter post starts strung out then corrects to the proper format.

    Firefox.

    Firefox on Android messes it up. It just runs to the right and never wraps. I don't like Google, so I haven't tried Chrome. Have Maxthon, trying it now — and now I know how it should look. It shows as the unwrapped text momentarily, then quickly jumps to looking like a tweet. Guess I'll switch to Maxthon.

      Never heard of it before.

      Thanks Mark! Had only been using Maxthon for sports scores and a few sites for my two former teams (Mets and Packers), and now haven't been using it at all. Quit the NFL 3 years ago, and now baseball too. So I guess it's just as bad as Chrome then, since it's Chinese. Wow! I really need an Android browser that works and isn't "stealing" all my info as if they own me. Does that even exist nowadays?
