TIL that you can get much lower online prices if you use a local library computer. Another reason to hate retailers.

Lora Kelley took a trip to the New York Public Library for us and compared prices against a personal iPhone. The results? A box of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and a pack of toilet paper were nearly 20% cheaper on the library desktop.

I tried using waterfox and librewolf i think.

Every click on a new site was 5 capchas, its horrendously unusable, since probably they assume that all obfuscated user agent and other data are bots

    I tried LibreWolf. It was such a bad experience.

    It's a shame that the Internet is so bad that the browser has to go to such extreme lengths to give you any privacy that it makes the experience awful.

    It definitely isn't as graceful in the every day experience, but keeping a profile with resist fingerprinting disabled has helped the few times I need to get past turnstiles and whatnot that otherwise loop

    It really is a shame that it's come to this rock paper scissors war between the server's usage, the user's experience, and privacy. Currently privacy is what has been cut in favor of the other two. You have to work to maintain privacy now
