Unfilter The Web - Selectively

Very few computers, owned by Blogger blog owners, members, and guests, are only used for participating in Blogger blog based activity. Almost everybody here publishes - or at least surfs - to other websites. Occasionally, when surfing to an unfamiliar blog or website, we may see an odd bit of advice.

These are signs of computers that are properly protected, to prevent unwanted access by undesirable individuals or websites. Unfortunately, what is protecting us is also preventing us from using the blogs and websites in question.

There are many discussions, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, where this problem is seen.

I can't comment on blogs. I keep getting sent to the login screen, over and over.

or

Why can't I see my Followers?

or

I keep trying to get Stats to ignore my own pageviews - but every time I check, the selection is unchecked!

All of these are examples of people who are filtering essential Blogger content. Filters can be found in your browser, on your computer, and on the network - and your task, now, is to look carefully, in all possible locations.

And people who filter Blogger content just won't get the full use of Blogger. Unfortunately, when advised to configure their computers, we get various demurrals.

• Blogger needs to fix their problems! I'm not changing my computer, to solve Blogger's problems!
• All of this is too technical for me! Can you make me a step by step list of exactly what I need to do, so I don't have to think about it?

The bottom line here is, if the filters on your computer prevent Blogger (or other websites) from working properly on your computer, you need to be prepared to fix the filtering on your computer.
