I use Firefox with no problems. I have noticed though, if I am on a slow connection and the photo does not upload quickly, the server will not allow me to upload it, it always fails. As soon as I improve my Internet connection, my upload to go through.
 
I'm inhibited on the buzz these days since I have to take screen shots of my pictures before I post them. I tend not to post pictures unless it is super important. Just takes too much effort...
 
I host my photos on imgur and then instead of uploading them direct you just paste the link into the photo upload box and it works every time.

same for me with chrome or duckduckgo
 
The issue with uploading pics has been a problem for a minute now.

I bet it has to do with newer phones taking high resolution pics at a larger file size. Sometimes cropping the pic helps, sometimes not.

Bingo. Imagine a million cars trying to drive 100 miles on a four-lane highway. To reduce congestion, they make it 8 lanes, but now they have to reduce the speed limit to half of what it was before. Pretty soon, there's five million cars driving on it, so the following year they double the number of lanes, but have to reduce the speed limit to half, again, to keep the cars from colliding with each other all the time. Rinse and repeat, the following year. Before long, everybody is driving 5 miles an hour and they'd be better off walking.

This is the reality of the internet. Increase bandwidth every few years, while attracting even more traffic and high-bandwidth things like high-res pics and video streaming. Before long, servers are throttling the bandwidth so bad that 100 MBS of bandwidth at your house is no faster than the old 1200 baud modems of yesteryear.

Add to that the problem of nobody wanting to take a few minutes to crop, resize and optimize their pics in a graphics program, and half of them using a phone for a computer, and...

Well, it's a clusterfuck.
