You can't have *all* cookies disabled, otherwise you wouldn't be able to log in and enable the VE preference. I'm guessing this might be a badtoken error (in which case I'm pretty sure we do actually show an error message, rather than load forever; and in which case you're probably also unable to edit through the regular UI), or it might be something entirely unrelated to cookies.

Can you confirm whether VE always fails to load with Cookie Monster and always loads successfully without Cookie Monster?

always
loads successfully without Cookie Monster?

And could you also confirm that you're able to edit *as a logged-in user* using the regular non-visual editor?

I forgot to mention I was testing on VisualEditor:Test in mediawiki.org, that was not whitelisted in Cookie Monster. When I did whitelisted it, the page reloaded and VE was now working.

I just removed again mediawiki.org from whitelist, and VE now loads without end.

VE do work for me in en.wikipedia.org (that is of course whitelisted). I don't know if anonymous users can contribute with cookies disabled (for the day it will be activated for them).

Note: after some tests, VE does work with Chrome and IE9, with totally disabled cookies.

Does normal editing (through the old, non-visual editor) work for you on mediawiki.org when not whitelisted?

Yes, it works.

Afaik the bad token handling has been solved for the save process. The load process no longer requires a token.

Can you confirm this now works fine?

Yes, it does work fine now, even with Cookie Monster preventing cookies to be set.
