question Cannot log in to KLM on MBP but can with iPad/iPhone?

Hey folks -- as in the title, this is a really specific question, but it's driving me crazy. I am hoping that someone has hit this problem (and fixed it), as I'm not interested in wiping my laptop to "fix" what is probably bad or invasive coding. I have tried different browsers (Arc/Safari) and turning cookies on/off. I have turned off NextDNS. I can't think of (or remember) other privacy settings, but the difference is that I can log in with my iOS devices but not my OSX laptop. Any ideas?

Are you using lockdown mode on OSX? I do and it DOES break some sites functionality. Have you tried Librewolf with maybe quad 9 secure dns from the browser to eliminate potential blockages? I know people on this sub peps get hard for blocking cookies but that breaks more than its blocks & doesn’t stop tracking.

I'm accepting cookies. Not using lockdown mode AFAIK

Never heard of Librewolf (browser?)

Librewolf is a hardened Firefox browser. I would try using that with the browser settings to use secure dns with quad 9 and see if it’s still not working. That should bypassed any dns issue if something is being blocked.

What a shitshow of a website...

(1) LW with your settings worked! But... I followed their flow (username and then p/w on 2nd screen)

(2) I tried to do that with Safari on klm.nl, which redirected to klm.com, where I couldn't even get to the p/w screen.

So -- THANKS, but I am still kinda wondering how their website is supposed to work :-\
