About a week ago, after years with few problems, Pandora decided not to work on Chrome - unless I use incognito mode. Also works OK with Firefox. So...what's the deal?

Thanks for following up, @Pants.
I recommend running through the following troubleshooting steps: Chrome Troubleshooting
Let me know if the issue persists after completing those steps.
@Pants Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?
Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝
The only 'acknowledgement' that I've clicked on 'play' is my drive-fan speed increases a bit. The triangular play-button remains triangular (doesn't change to the 'pause' stripes).
Once I'm fed up with nothing happening THERE, if I click on "shuffle" or another station, the cover-art image turns into the 'spinning disc' graphic, and...nothing happens. It's done this through multiple reboots, and of course refreshes of the page, and opening from a new page.
I can get you a screenshot, but it wouldn't show anything out of order. LMK if you want it anyway.
...one other odd thing: twice now, with no other devices trying to play Pandora, I've gotten the "only one listener at a time" nag (while using incognito to listen, as explained before). I click on "let me listen" and move on.

Took me forever to get back to this, just used incognito mode until now.
I don't like clearing cache, but not as much as I dislike losing cookies and history...anyway, once I'd cleared cache (only), it came back to working OK in full browser.
@Pants Glad to hear that helped resolve the issue for you.
Thanks for providing us with that update!
