For real? That sounds like an endorsement to me.

I prefer my browser doesn’t police what sites do and do not run.
Also, a site that you don’t use, not being useable. Has zero effect on you. Marking this as a positive seems rather petty.

It’s not that LibreWolf deliberately blocks Claude. One of their anti-fingerprinting techniques messes with it.
“That sounds like an endorsement” referred to how they don’t want to waste their time or weaken their privacy tools just to make the slop machine work.

I am inclined to agree with that sentiment.
However I don’t think thats the full story, there are plenty report of this happening on librewolf but I could not find any for firefox with fingerprint protection enabled, neither did i find any for tor (though sites not working on tor is expected and may just not get reported)
Its seems to me that librewolf has a very unique custom implementation of anti-fingerprinting that is not used elsewhere, ironically that means it could be used as an identifier of its own.
In the larger context this also isn’t just about one website. Claude isn’t trying to obtain any fingerprints and simply expects time to progress.
Plenty of other smaller sites that we don’t know might be affected.
