What're you buying there, potions?

I found this site from a blog recommending a few brands. They didn't have what I wanted but the fact I was greeted by this was good enough to screenshot.

Went there just now and did not get a pop up. Firefox does not detect any trackers.

[–] WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Tried it just now, didn't get an error either.

Using arguments from the 1990s internet to coerce users seems .... gnarly, my dude.

Strange, I don't get that pop-up with my Firefox.

Might be because I am from Europe

In the US I didn't see that popup either, just that notice on the page from my other comment.

Hey at least they apologize! 🤣

My only other browser is curl, does it works on that?

[–] zhenbo_endle@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

This is annoying, while there are a few things we can do

  1. Report this issue at https://webcompat.com/
  2. Change UA to trick this website https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/
  3. Best choice, change another store :)

No self-respecting witch uses chrome, website sus.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

This is a site with no competent designers.

If my client asked me to design and implement something like this, I’d quit. No, fix your Firefox bug, amateurs.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I just went there to test it, and I did not see that popup.

[–] feoh@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey would you be willing to pass the site you found this on so we can all studiously avoid it? :)

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Ugly clothes too

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I’m sorry Morning Witch but we’ve got standards, y’know.

Remember when shopping sites didn't need 200mb of javascript libraries to work?

[–] BlanK0@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

User agent extensions go brrrrr 😎
