Thank you for reporting this issue. It appears that the website is blocking requests (serving alternative content) based on the User-Agent header we use.

I was able to reproduce this issue only when using this exact User-Agent value:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36.

Enabling desktop mode changes the User-Agent value, allowing you to bypass the restriction. Since the blocked User-Agent header value contains an outdated WebView version (131.x), updating the WebView component on your device to a newer version should resolve the issue and enable access to the website without having to switch to desktop mode.
