Even with mobile FF and adblock their mobile website is completely unusable. Now ask me if I'm happy to download ther app if their website is a complete POS like that
The desktop website works "fine" for the most part though
Except for that pesky detail of hash collisions
FTFY
But I think there are still cell operators without sim card
Yeah you could, but most people won't
