From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Volaris website not working for others on linux? (sh.itjust.works)

For a while now, I've been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I've tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don't believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux specific (as I doubt Volaris' website has been broken like this for over 2 years now).

The website seems to load some background images, but then it stops loading. I'm basically unable to interact with the website in any way. Sometimes I'll get a captcha to even access the website. The workaround that I have found was actually going into the inspector and refreshing. This make the website function again while the inspector is open.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Yes, it seems to break on Linux. Only got it working by spoofing the browser on a chrome based one to think I'm on windows.

Will look into that to see if that's easier that what I currently do now. Thanks!

I had an issue like that with tmobile for a long time, making my window smaller instead of full screen always seemed to fix it. Firefox also has the option to change the display in inspector mode I believe, you can emulate a phone or tablet so it might work that way

More or less what I have to do.
