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

I have a user agent switcher extension for Firefox. I have a linux machine for development work, and a Windows imaged laptop for email. There are some work related sites I have to switch the agent for. I know one of the sharepoint sites was arbitrarily "locked down" to Windows only, so I report that I'm running Edge on Windows.

You would do that rather than change domain provider?

Faking the User-Agent usually involves changing one configuration value in your browser.

Changing your domain provider usually involves finding a new provider, evaluating it, setting up payments, moving a bunch of records and so on.

I know what I'd do unless I was already planning on changing my domain management.

Agreed that changing a UA is definitely the easier short term solution.

The downside is that in the long run, you’re signalling to a consumer-hostile business that you’re happy for them to continue to be hostile towards you.

When dealing with duopolies, pragmatic solutions are all there are. When dealing with highly competitive marketplaces, ‘pragmatism’ and ‘laziness’ can often overlap in both positive and negative ways.

A positive pragmatic lazy solution I found to consolidate all the different registrars I used was to use Hover’s transfer-in concierge service. Of course, this now means giving money to Tucows instead, but they offend me less than GD.

I too would prefer to press a button once rather than change a domain provider, yes.

The way you assume that responsibility in this case is by unblocking the JavaScript GoDaddy requires.

Easy version of this is a FIDO2 hardware key.
