Half an hour ago, I started looking for a subject worthy of my attention. I usually go through online resources that may be interesting, check my latest Stumble suggestions, and so on. Today, the search revealed a subject before actually showing some results. How’s that possible? Well, just take a look at the screenshot below!
Sure, it only shows one minute and some seconds, but as I write this, we’re talking about almost 35 minutes. “Waiting for DNS confirmation of cookie domain(s)…” is a pretty clear error, or at least it should be. Wait, it’s not an error, it’s a status message! As we all know, such messages are expected to disappear after a while, especially when they start with “waiting,” but this time, it seems we’re not lucky!
No, it’s not only one site, and today it’s not the first day when I see it happening. After some research, I bumped into the following solution: go to Settings> Preferences> Browsing, and then set the Loading option to “Redraw Instantly”. Some say it works, some say it doesn’t, and this error seems to occur in both Windows and Linux versions of the browser, probably in the Mac version, too, but I didn’t find any report on it yet.
The conclusion? In my case, changing that Loading option to “Redraw Instantly” solved the problem! I can only hope it will do the same for you or, even better, you’ll never have to face this issue. Final information for everyone’s use – it all happened in Windows XP SP3 Professional, running Opera 10.51, build 3315, the 32-bit version. That’s all, folks!
Thanks!
The problem seems to be appearing after the rootservers of the Internet changed from dns to dnssec. A lot of dns servers are not (yet?) set to dnssec and that can cause this message. If the people who own/run the dns server set it to dnssec the problem(s) are normally solved.
