If i follow that link in logged-out state i come to a wonderful
page that looks as if Apple had designed it. (Note i use two
different accounts for web browsing, one throw-away thing with
a user who has no rights at all, unfortunately i still not made it
to put this account into a lxc container, or even a VM, even
though accelerated graphics now work even inside those it seems!
And another one which knows user credentials, for example for the
GMail account(s). Since i log into the latter via ssh, and have
to unlock an encrypted volume in order to get firefox --
unfortunately i do need Javascript for these, ISP, VM hoster,
GMail, whatever, sigh -- up with access to its data, i have to
cross some hurdles of pain. I tried the link with the
unpriviledged user.)
