I try, but I couldn’t stand to not give you a reply

“I have advanced tracking enabled in Firefox but haven’t changed any of their default settings - works perfectly fine for me on my own Gitlab server as well as gitlab.com. I”

Don’t known if your work for gitlab or something, but the “security” they implement to get rid of any bot / spam is the problem, browser are not the one who should make their code or settings compatible to be able to load a website, but the website doing the right code to work on any browser (HTML5)

getting ride of a clear net spam of bot / ddos or whatever undesirable requests they are getting, and being compatible with major browser doesn’t require major skill or cost, if you think it is you may wanna check on the onion big community that are able to handle a spam bot from the tor network and without making the browser load the single javascript line… there you go, next time avoid misleading thanks
