https://www.reddit.com/r/spotify/comments/5xxf5g/how_to_get_old_spotify_web_player_ui_back_on/

Add the chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

Add a custom user agent called IE10 like this

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Then mark spotify.com to permanently spoof this for spotify.com domain

And don't forget the old version supports hot keys too

Visual Studio Work Item Images broken

The case of the missing image…

Turns out this was due to my old windows credentials being cached on the tfs server credentials cache.

To fix this, I logged onto the tfs server directly via my admin account and updated the credentials there in the windows credentials manager.

Also ran fiddler in the background and cleared the winnet cache as well

Then it refresh a few times on the work item ticket back in visual studio, and hey presto they are all showing again.
