best browser for Quidco

david1946

Is there a browser that I could exclusivly use for Quidco that does not entail me keep turning off add blockers and pop-up blockers etc.?
Currently I use Firefox, Edge and Chrome and I keep having to change the settings to use Quidco.

This isn't a browser issue - the same complaints about ad-blockers being detected will apply regardless of what you use. Adverts are how sites like these make their money and a lot of them, not just Quidco and friends are using code to either hide the content or show "turn off your blocker" messages when they detect one is running.

You could just use Edge for QuidCo in its default state with no add-ons...

All you need to do is use a separate browser profile. This will have separate add-ons, bookmarks & cookies.

Have one profile with your ad-blockers, etc. for normal browsing, and one profile without any add-ons and using default browser settings to use Quidco.

Not really
Disable on this site will disable adblocking on quidco.com only. Quidco will usually redirect you to an affiliate tracking site before sending you on to the retailer. If the adblocking has only been disabled on quidco.com then it will still block the cookies from the affiliate site and you won't get your purchase tracked

im having the same problems with Quidco and Topcashback, some redirects are blocked. Have tried Chrome,Firefox and IE10/11 without any sucess. I think it is a Windows 10 thing......

If some are blocked and some are not, I doubt it's a W10 thing. Handy to have it to blame though....:)
I don't use Quidco, but, whenever I have any site blocked for, whatever reason, there is always a message or indicator saying why it's blocked and by what.

Just use an incognito window and set your ad blocker to be disabled in incognito mode. I always open one for big purchases to make sure I haven't hit any other referral links, for example Hotdeals inserts referral links.

I have a browser which is only used for quidco. Much easier. Have had over £1000 cashback and only one denied- which was entirely my fault.

Have you tried using a clean browser profile?
