This is a test of your browsers protections, and FF is shining.

Re: Tell HN: Twitter/X is inaccessible to all Firefox users by default
#12This seems to be working as designed, a website is loading cross origin material and not setting up the proper systems in advance. Twitter shouldn't get a pass on doing something unusual and suspicious just because. Serve the images from the same domain. I know Twitter probably fired the people who knew this entirely predictable outcome was likely, but like, they should have seen this coming.

It doesn't say anything about CORS in the networking tab: https://i.imgur.com/yeH6bGi.png
It correctly identifies that Twitter is trying to load a tracking site, which Firefox blocks by default (with an allowlist). Instead of hating on Firefox, hate on Chrome and other browser vendors that don't go to the effort of maintaining a blocklist to protect their customers privacy (or implementing support for an existing blocklist, in the case of Brave)
