Me too. I was browsing on my old Windows 8 computer that I refuse to upgrade and it did not like my OS. I don't like it either, but I'm not going to install a newer version, out of principle.

edit: added version

There's zero javascript on the page and it reads perfectly in lynx. I'm not sure how your browser could possibly be a variable here, unless TFA's platform is actively blocking certain user agents (which I suppose isn't quite ironic, but would not exactly send the best message to go with the arguments)
Yes, they do actively block certain user agents.
Maybe at some point someone whose web page you visit will take the initiative to upgrade your computer for you.
May I ask which OS you are on getting you blocked?
