Same problem but with French equivalent SNCF (sncf-connect.com). I just checked and can confirm nothing has changed. You cannot use up-to-date Firefox on Linux to access the main booking site for French rail tickets.

Does it work if you spoof the user agent?

Gotta love it.

    It gets blocked in a private window, but only on the second page load. So more sophisticated than UA-blocking.

    The finger-wagging about "Use of developer or inspection tools" is just outrageous. Akin to accusing users of thought crime.

    The only solution to all this will be through elections and laws.

    Developer tools are easily detected by looking for the viewport to resize a certain amount.
