I get opus if I click these links, which chrome plays fine.

What I meant is, if I use the website, it will play mp3 instead.

View on HN

I'm getting the mp3 stream too, in Firefox on Linux.

I also have a weird div covering half the viewport (vertically): https://imgur.com/a/vJqWmtO

edit: the div covering half the viewport also occurs on nightride.fm

Hmm, will look into this one. Have some idea what it might be!

Ah this is one of your extensions / plugins adding a div to the page. and my CSS defaults setting it in a particular way... Extensions that add these kinds of elements to webpages are annoying, making assumptions about styling

there are reasons. Firefox has previously misbehaved with chained ogg via webaudio, old bugs that get fixed then regress, as is often the mozilla way.

Website should be updated to use a bitrate adaptive HLS stream like I do on nightride.fm - will backport that to rekt soon
