This browser or app may not be secure. Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can refresh your screen and try again to sign in.”&lt;p&gt;A&amp;#x2F;B testing security? Is this what peak A&amp;#x2F;B looks like?&lt;p&gt;Can we go back to giving users a consistent experience and develop software based on some other type of reasoning, rather than this A&amp;#x2F;B gaslighting?</text></comment>
