Problem with Mull and Duolingo (slrpnk.net)

Hello, I started to experience a problem with Mull and Duolingo (and also bromite) that started about 1 month ago.

Basically Duolingo tells me that my browser is not supported but it worked perfectly fine before. Anyone experienced this issue? I can't find an issue on mull repo apparently about this specific issue. Dunno if it is something about resisting fingerprint but I wonder why that happens..

Most likely it works on others, you just need to spoof the agent.

I have both Mull and vanilla Firefox on Android, they use all the same headers (including User-Agent) according to DuckDuckGo's "what's my user agent" tool.

My guess is that the same defaults that makes Mull more private also disables either cookies or scripts that Duolingo expects to be able to use.

That's my guess as well. Their mobile app updates feel like they are only there to circumvent adblockers and stopped working all together months ago.
