Many websites require you to use a specific OS on a specific browser, that is because most web developers today have no idea how to make a website. All the know is how they can use NPM/Yarn/PNPM or whatever the shiniest hip Javascript package manager of the week is to run off somebody else's code with some slight alternations, but HTML and CSS is way too hard for them. And because of this, we get this mess in which only specific platforms are supported on something that's supposed to be platform independent. I should say this is not FreeBSD-specific, I noticed the exact same thing on OpenBSD as well, in which all browsers now report "Linux" instead of "OpenBSD". --=20 lain. Did you know that? 90% of all emails sent on a daily basis are being sent in plain text, and i= t's super easy to intercept emails as they flow over the internet? Never send passwords, tokens, personal information, or other volunerable in= formation without proper PGP encryption! If you're writing your emails unencrypted, please consider sending PGP encr= ypted emails for security reasons. You can find my PGP public key at: https://fair.moe/lain.asc Every good email client is able to send encrypted emails. If yours can't, then you should consider switching to a secure email client= , because yours just sucks. My recommendations are Claws Mail or NeoMutt.
