Web Pages that Block Linux
From ArchWiki

The Problem
Some web pages block GNU/Linux users (possible, but rare/unconfirmed?). Also, Gmail will not accept alternative browsers like Konqueror (unconfirmed?).
Solutions
Change the "user agent" reported by your browser.
Firefox
Install the "User Agent Switcher" plugin, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59.
Alternatively, use about:config to change the settings of Firefox.
Konqueror
The "Configure Konqueror" menu item allows you to change the browser identification. This helps with Gmail.
Use Wine
Download the Windows version of Firefox and run it under Wine.
Gmail http://mail.google.com
Change your browser's identification to Firefox or Internet Explorer, using the instructions at the top.
