Reminds me of my experiences with UnitedHealthcare’s website. If I try to log in with Firefox + uBO I get mysterious permissions errors and “something went wrong” messages for the next few hours, even after switching browsers. Use Chromium from the beginning though and it’s smooth sailing. And of course their “tech” support is beyond useless about this.

- hirundo 4y agoThat website only works on Chrome for me, it doesn't let me login on Brave ... which is a flavor of Chromium, right?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoLots of websites make me disable content blockers on Safari too, or even not let me use Safari (maybe because of Apple’s Private Relay?). The part I do not understand is even websites that verify you via 2FA do this, so I assume their goal is to track you no matter what.
- akira2501 4y agoIn the general case, I assume it's mostly just bad coding practices, and developers not testing how their site performs with an ad or cookie blocker active.
- danuker 4y agoI don't buy that. Web devs know better than to suffer through ads. They block ads.
- comprev 4y agoYou're assuming the webdevs have authority to make the site "backwards compatible" with those who use adblockers. If revenue comes from ads, why would management give the green light?
