#12This website is optimized for Netscape Navigator again
Re: GoDaddy locks out derivatives of Chrome
#13This is because the browser fails to load some JS on the control panel because the browser blocks them. That's it.
This is an infuriatingly poor error message if the problem is disabled JavaScript. Surely they can detect that and show a proper error instead of trying to be cute with this "Your browser is a bit unusual" junk?

#14You already shouldn't be using GoDaddy, so there's another reason
Re: GoDaddy locks out derivatives of Chrome
#15"Your browser is a bit unusual". Why, yes. Thank you for noticing. That is entirely intentional. Welcome to the web.
Too bad there's not a chance to respond, "I assume all responsibility for my unusual browser." I remember having to change the user agent string in Konqueror
You would do that rather than change domain provider?

#16When everyone becomes adept at changing their user agent to beat these filters, what so these whiz kids do?
I don't think it is user agent based. I think they just detected some js wasn't run by the browser.
I don't have any godaddy account to try it out but I very often get captcha to respond on on websites with a message saying my browsing has been flagged as possible bot access. I am using ghostery on firefox.

#17I've been getting that message for over a year. I don't think it's browser related. I tried pretty much every browser. I can't log in at home, but it works fine at work. Whatever it is, I'm never using godaddy again.
adblocker / js blocker and privacy extensions can trigger that. I get similar error for different websites or gets additionnal captcha to answer because I use ghostery.

#18GoDaddy is a well-documented garbage fire. I used them once, then switched to Namecheap and I've never looked back.

#19Works fine on Vivaldi (which is Chromium-based), unless the error is only supposed to occur after an actual logging attempt, which I can't test without an account.
So I don't doubt there's a limitation, but it doesn't seem to disallow every derivative browser (assuming I'm not misunderstanding you somehow).

Yes, but in this case I tried chromium with a brand new profile, and even installed Windows in a VM to use internet explorer. Nothing worked.
I called godaddy support and was ultimately told to use a different ISP.
