I've started noticing websites just to refuse to work on Linux:

  • Xfinity
  • Microsoft
  • United Airlines
  • American Airlines

It's not like some weird script error either. It's straight up a 403 Forbidden on certain routes. Works perfectly fine if I switch to my Windows laptop. It's like it took one look at my user agent string and decided I was a bot.

    Not saying you're wrong, but if you're running a VPN it could be that as well. More and more sites are demanding CAPTCHA tests and verification holds or just returning 403 for VPN access no matter what OS you are running.
