    Does Librewolf present itself differently or use a different user agent altogether? I could see Librewolf presenting itself as Chromium as a privacy measure and people are saying changing the user agent fixes the issue.

    EDIT: I’ve seen this happen on Safari for macOS. Someone at Apple is certainly snitching to their higher-ups, lol.
