I recently signed up and ordered a game. I ran into a browser security related problem with the ordering process - it involves MasterCard verification, where you get a pop-up browser frame that asks for a separate security code. It's the first time I'd used that service relating to Visa or MC.
In any case, because my browser security model is based on whitelisting sites, scripts such as what gog.com use get blocked. I whitelisted gog.com of course, but whatever domain sources that pop-up verification isn't easy to figure out - because once that security script gets blocked, the pop-up reverts to gog.com.
Long story short:
GOG needs to document and publish a support topic that defines exactly which sites/domains are necessary to allow. The alternative is to advise customers to allow scripts globally temporarily, but there are some folks - including myself - that don't want to do that. Would be just as easy to say that gog.com and someMasterCardDomain.com needs to be whitelisted.
