It is highly random. I think it detects some suspicious activity and does it based on that. It seems to happen more in incognito mode for me.

So if their trackers, borderline-malware, etc. fail to do the job, they'll make you log in as a last resort.  Nice.  That would explain why I am getting the login prompt every time---I do lots of ad and script blocking.

There really ought to be a web browser designed from the ground up with an overtly adversarial stance towards all content producers.  Trying to play both sides just isn't working.

OP don't forget rotary encoders cannot give absolute position, only a delta. So they aren't popular in thumbwheel kind of use or something you have to frequently adjust.

If Aliexpress cannot ID you through advertisers, it demands you log in to do a search. Really stupid and frustrating.
Once you have a established a web fingerprint, it doesn't require logging in to do a search. Very creepy.

I also block a number of things and consistently get the login screen. It may indeed be strong-arming you for your data. Comply or surrender basically.
