- scarface_74 3y agoI’m sure they are all going to block iOS users from using their services.
- beanjuiceII 3y agoiOS already implemented this stuff
- kmeisthax 3y agoNot only did iOS implement this, but everyone either sleep-walked on it, or worse, praised it, because Apple sold it as a CAPTCHA bypass instead of a DRM scheme: https://mastodon.delroth.net/@delroth/110775677023220850 https://mastodon.delroth.net/@delroth/110775677023220850
- martimarkov 3y agoHow is PrivacyPass related to iOS?
- kmeisthax 3y agoPrivacyPass is an extension that lets you pre-solve CloudFlare CAPTCHAs if you're on a VPN. However, that was too frustrating, so CloudFlare partnered with Apple to integrate PrivacyPass into Safari. How did they do this? Simple: iOS provides cryptographic attestation that your browser isn't a bot and isn't hacked, and CloudFlare takes that as your CAPTCHA solution. This works exactly the same way that Google proposes Web Environment Integrity work.
- petepete 3y agoMy former business bank actually did this. They insisted their web app "was compatible with all modern browsers, but more compatible with Chrome" - I couldn't make transfers to other accounts with Firefox, it just hung indefinitely.

- sherr 3y agoI use Virgin Bank and Firefox works OK for me.
- petepete 3y agoThis was Virgin Money Business specifically, and it's a year since I left so it might have been fixed.
- amalcon 3y ago> was compatible with all modern browsers, but more compatible with Chrome Is Animal Farm not required reading in Orwell's home country? Or was that a misquote, or maybe just something from a random support worker? It's almost too on the nose for that statement to be written by someone familiar with that book.
- hyperdimension 3y agoI was wondering the exact same thing with that wording. Maybe someone, somewhere was required to put in a notice like that (or worse, make it so that it does work better in Chrome for whatever reason) and decided to word it like that to fly under the radar. Unlikely, but I like that imaginary world.

- goalieca 3y agoIt’s bad enough google captcha is broken on Firefox with all the privacy extensions on.
- glogla 3y agoIt is not broken. They are punishing you for not wanting to be tracked, profiled and manipulated.
