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. |

Comply or surrender basically. |
