Chrome v133 Issue Clean-up

Further to the news post on the 26th February, I have now confirmed that Google Chrome v133 - specifically 133.0.6943.49 - seems to have bugs which caused a variety of issues in the game when people tried to navigate between pages quickly. The subsequent v133 patch releases, and v134 do not seem to have these issues.

Therefore, I am:

  • Dropping Support for Google Chrome v133. If you use Chrome, then please update to v134 or later versions.
  • Re-instating some visual styles which were removed to work around the issues in Chrome v133.

In summary, if you are having any issues with pages loading slowly or getting stuck and are using Google Chrome v133, then please update or use another browser. Thank you!
