Conclusion Note

I’ve tested just in the last hours on 4 different systems, three different browsers.

Either I am incredibly unlucky or this must be reproducible elsewhere…


@gus here’s a suggestion, please put the banner near the bottom like you see bellow. The issue is that the donate button does not work. So that’s where people will be on the page when the error shows.

I was following the discussion about the banner and still I missed it when I went to the website because. Anyways, just a tip :wink:

@gus it’s still not working (on Tor Browser and also on Firefox 94 on Fedora 33). So the fix by @kez on gitlab didn’t seem to solve this. Please forward this information if you can.

Same problem here. OpenSuSE Leap 15.2, FireFox 91.2.0esr

i believe @kez has just fixed that specific issue.

that said, I can reproduce the problem in my own Firefox, but I have rather stringent privacy controls. specifically, i can reproduce the issue with “Third-party cookies” enabled. The symptom is that the “Donate” button doesn’t work when clicked. At the top of the dev console, we also see:

Request to access cookie or storage on “<URL>” was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled

This blocks requests to stripe and paypal.

I think what is happening is that we’re relying on a third-party cookie, and this is blocked by many browsers, including newer browsers (I’ve seen a few Firefox 94 here, for example). Preliminary reports indicate that privacy badger will also block those cookies.

So; a workaround is to enable third-party cookies and/or disable privacy badger, as relevant. See also the upstream docs.

We’re working on a fix to correct the cross-origin errors on our side.

Thanks again everyone for the detailed reports, extremely useful.

Just to add an update to anarcat’s post above, we’ve added a new item to the Donor FAQ (which is also linked to via a banner under the donate form itself) detailing the workarounds that have been identified so far, alongside some alternative ways to donate.

Should those workarounds not work for you, it’s likely there’s another issue at play here as well – in which case please continue to add your reports to this thread.

Thanks everyone!

One year later, I am still unable to donate with credit card :cry:

I tried donating at https://donate.torproject.org/ and via Open Collective. Nether worked.

I have donated to Wikipedia, Thunderbird, and others without a problem with Tor Browser. And it’s just unfortunate as I bet many are donating via Tor Browser.

We are planning to revamp the donate site this year and get this resolved. Sorry about it. We will have issues related in Revamp Tor's donate website · The Tor Project · GitLab
