Windows 8

Google Chrome

Deleted anything neowin from history.

Dumped the cache

Deleted all neowin cookies.

Open up again, and the damn 4 square ajax loading spinner stays on nearly every page.

I have the exact same problem. It's annoying as hell!

If I had to guess, its related to the notifications. Will have another dev look at it in the morning.

If you mean PM notifications, that's working. The comments, however, are not working for me either in IE10 in addition to the bug I filed earlier.

Just like to say it's been like this for a long time for me.

Site still works fine. Just always has the loading square in the top right

This is the behavior as well on Firefox/Windows 7 and Safari on Mac OS X. Haven't noticed it in iOS. The spinner sometimes seems to get stuck spinning (although I'm not always sure if it is just getting some content somewhere very slowly) but everything still seems to work OK. I haven't had issues where I am unable to respond to comments due to it (I think)...

It shows when the minispy is updating, or when you are saving a post in the forums.. I'm on Chrome Beta/Windows 8 and it doesn't stick for me, but we'll get Redmak to take a look.

Out of curiosity, are you using AdBlock on Neowin? because I believe that blocks certain elements of the minispy, which we can't do anything about anyway..

I just finally used Ad Block to create a filter and selected the spinner and blocked it to finally get rid of it.

Had this issue with IE10; blocked it with a custom stylesheet:

.spinner[id="ajax-spinner"] {
	display: none;
	}

    • Perplexity starts testing its Comet AI browser on Windows by Usama Jawad AI is all the rage these days with Microsoft heavily pushing Copilot, Google investing its efforts in Gemini and Veo, Apple still figuring out Apple Intelligence, and OpenAI continuing to dominate the headlines. Now, another player in this space, Perplexity, has decided that it wants a bigger chunk of the market too. We already know that Perplexity is interested in the browser market. In May, it rolled out a version of its AI browser, Comet, exclusively to Mac customers running Apple Silicon. As expected, this piece of software features AI capabilities front and center, including the ability to engage in conversations with the AI model in natural language, surface emails that you haven't responded to, and a "Try on" feature that enables users to upload a picture of themselves and then see AI-generated images of themselves with different pieces of clothing, just to get an idea of how aesthetic they could look if they wear certain garments. Now, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has posted on X (formerly Twitter) that testing for the Windows version of Comet has now begun: Now that the testing for Comet on Windows has begun with a handful of testers, it will be interesting to see when the browser will roll out generally to customers and what feature set will eventually become available for the masses. That said, it is important to note that AI browser is not a novel concept; Opera Neon was recently announced as the first "AI agentic" browser. On a side note, Perplexity has been in hot waters recently. It received backlash from people after it revealed plans to find out everything its customers do online so that it can present them hyper-personalized ads. UK news outlet BBC also threatened the firm with legal action over its content scraping practices. Via: Engagdet
    • probably because these will be a minority compared to our general tech coverage, plus these stories, their premises do seem quite interesting.
    • Will Indian government upgrade my PC to Windows 11 if it's not supported? If they can't they should've mentioned alternatives as well.
