Problem is now, I can’t login to see my phone bill. Horrid design.
banks telcos will give you hard time... just got to enable enough of that slop until they do or switch to a more friendly provider.
i got red of my legacy bank because they got cute about it. fuck them, they were not even a good financial product with clown ass interest rate.
another option is to have a browser that's used for these activities only. something like ungoogled chromium although that can get spotty or just old vanilla FF with ubloock of course apparently you will get flagged for not using mega corp approved internet infrastructure. YMMV
Thank you for your service!
Doesn’t help that my PiHole is also blocking these at a DNS level as well my network is all routed behind VPN tunnels.
Pretty much all telecom companies around me do this.
All about that FOSS!
haha... easy there chad
I have been thinking about going that route good to know it will cause friction ahead of time.
It is interesting that you can access government websites on these set ups but you can't access the telco
I've been thinking about setting up a VM for unavoidable things like this. Set up a browser with a password manager and whatever essentials it needs, and save the state, then after every session, reset it and wipe the new content.
My thinking is that it will stop any tracking of other accounts or software, as you just use whatever site you log into at the time, so even if you do have to enable trackers for a site, there's nothing for them to see.
I switched from a major nationwide bank to a local credit union. Why the F did I stay with that garbage so long?
When from paying hundreds a year to getting some tiny interest.
