Problem with Mull and Duolingo (slrpnk.net)

Hello, I started to experience a problem with Mull and Duolingo (and also bromite) that started about 1 month ago.

Basically Duolingo tells me that my browser is not supported but it worked perfectly fine before. Anyone experienced this issue? I can't find an issue on mull repo apparently about this specific issue. Dunno if it is something about resisting fingerprint but I wonder why that happens..

privacy.resistfingerprinting = true reports the Browser as "Firefox ESR". Not sure if this even exists on mobile tbh.

Added an Extension to my collection to toggle RFP

But for me Duolingo also displayed that after switching my Browser agent to "Chrome 121 Android 14" and also "Firefox 122 Android 14".

Fuck that app.

Duolingo lost me when they decided to do away with user discussions. Can't believe they threw away all that.
