A lot of web sites seem to discriminate against GNU/Linux browsers.
Connections are not possible unless one uses Winblows.

 That turns out not to be the case.
 I use a Linux desktop as my "daily driver", and there's only
one reason that I "need" to bring up the Windows 11 Pro for Workstations
virtual machine:  reading a particular book on Kindle, which can't
be read with the Kindle web site.
 I do all my banking, shopping, etc. on Linux, where it's safer.
