MODERATORS
I'm on Linux with Firefox and have never had that issue before (particularly nexusmods which I use regularly). Something else is probably wrong with your setup.
Thirded. All three (Linux, FF, nexus)
ZERO ISSUES.
"Wrong with my setup" - thats not how internet works.
I'm based in south east asia and often work on the road so IP rating probably is the final crutch in my fingerprint score.
Either way this should be no way acceptible.
That is exactly how the internet works. That's always how the internet has worked.
In my case, it's usually the VPN.
