SO many corporate/govt websites do this. My health insurance and credit card company do it. It’s mind boggling. I always keep some variation of Chromium installed to deal with it and then go back to LibreWolf.

I’ve not used LibreWolf, but assuming that Firefox addons are generally compatible, it might be worth trying Chrome Mask. It’s made by a Mozilla employee.

Doesn’t Firefox automatically spoof your browser when it has been reported to work better?

I just downloaded firefox focus, and etsy wont let me log in with it because it has adblocking. even to track a shipment. They even stopped putting the tracking number in the shipment email so i cant go directly to usps. Im sick of being railroaded into giving up my privacy.

I have an very long blacklist of companies for this reason.

The problem with standing up for your privacy is that it massively diminishes the resources available to you. I’m down to shopping at Costco as a single adult, because I had to say fuck you to Target recently, and my local grocery store was busy doing anti-union bullshit at the same time. So I’m driving further and probably paying more in the long run.

But they aren’t principles if you don’t have to give something up to stick by them.

They aren’t worried about adblocking, but the cookie/tracker blockers that come with adblockers. They gotta know everything about you ya know

Webview is a system app + Chrome itself. You need root otherwise you can just remove Updates and deactivating

To more or less avoid the problems mentioned here you can replace webview with Mulch and Mulch Browser (chromiun based) but requires root

Maybe not, but it is a default app, and the vast majority of people can’t be bothered to install something better.

Chrome is the new Internet explorer. (Literally I guess)
