YouTuber suggests Mullvad Browser. I go to check it out, and it can't build. Well, guess I'm sticking with @librewolf

@librewolf Currenty, it's a bit of hassle to first realize that's the issue (as I'm usually mentally distracted when using free wifi), open another browser, and then figure out a URL that will trigger that page again.

Not having LibreWolf as my default would solve that, but of course, throwing my laptop in the dumpster would also remove that problem. LoL

@librewolf Second idea, a setting that sends those specific URLs to another browser of my choosing, preferably with a dialog along the lines of "Public Wifi Gateway Detected. Send log-in page to Chromium/FireFox/etc?"

@librewolf I'm thinking a solution might be LibreWolf recognizes it's the URLs to see if the network needs "log in" via that page, and does all that in a "relaxed" privacy (ie - spoof whatever needed, and allow http) window with no extensions. That little log in window being only to click that "Accept" button.

 

@librewolf - Feature Request:
I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to know the best solution within LibreWolf, but opening the URL network manager opens to trigger public wifi log in pages doesn't work. Somewhere between that URL and the prompt from the free wifi to agree not to look at porn or whatever, it just breaks. I'm sure it has to do with the fact LibreWolf insists (and rightly so) on HTTPS.
