Seems fixed? I just checked with FF.

good to see I'm not the only one. Chrome and Edge work fine. I hope this gets fixed.

Same here. Tried to fake the agent to Chrome 87 and was still blocked.

It seems to work fine for me. How many is 'many'?

What browser? Firefox seems to be the only one affected right now

Firefox. On desktop.

#metoo Faking User-Agent header doesn't help.

This is interesting now. What are some other simple ways of identifying a browser?

Waterfox is working. Must be something new that FF is doing.
