It doesn't look like the Vogon's website error. Something else.

Once you get locked into a serious browser collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. 🤣

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I like to compartmentalize stuff, so e.g. I use Waterfox for computer stuff (including VOGONS), another browser for music stuff, another for banking/online shopping, etc etc

Plus I have multiple Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, etc accounts, and this way I can be simultaneously logged into multiple at the same time.

Hi everyone, I’d like to report the following:
I use Chrome on my iPhone for browsing, and when I try to connect to www.vogons.org, I get an error:

Unable to reach the site
www.vogons.org unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:
Checking your connection
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

The error also occurs when I use other iPhones (even ones newer than mine, running the latest available version of iOS).
I don't have any issues when using Safari.

Thank you for your time

the website is as broken as F.

A.I. did not do this. some dumb ass did.
A human did this and they are too stuck up to fix it.

You realize that you are calling the person running this forum this?

Can you please get back on topic without resorting to personal insults? This is not helpful and does not add to a positive discussion.
