Have you tried to spoof the user agent ?

I don't know what that is

It's a neat trick that's been around for ages. Your browser presents a string of text to the website to identify itself. "Hi! I'm Chrome_ver_whatever."

You can easily change it, make your browser lie to the website.

Here's the extension for Chrome and Edge:

I'm sure Firefox has the same.
