The VOGONS site doesn't seem to be accessible in the LibreWolf web browser, I'm just seeing this:
In Brave which I'm using to post this, everything works fine. I can't spot anything too suspicious in the network output:
I would guess this is user agent filtering being done by the site operators to fend off scanners, scrapers and general malfeasance

FUCK "AI"
I'm on the latest version of LibreWolf (148.0-1) as of this writing, and it works fine with Vogons. Been using that browser for over a year now, never had any problems with this forum.
That said, I did disable some of the privacy settings, such as the anti fingerprinting thing, since it annoyed me that it wouldn't remember the window size.
Same for Brave 1.80.115 desktop.
same for last version Google Chrome v116.0.5845.187 for MacOS X 10.13 High Sierra

It's been broken here for days, still ongoing. So it's not a sporadic failure. No other site seems to be affected.
This has been going on for months. There was a previous thread about it.
