Some sites (Rover included) run a browser check when the sign-in page loads and refuse any browser that has a debugger attached. This view has to stay attached to show you pixels and relay your typing, so that check can never be satisfied here — it is not something we can configure around. Sign in on your own Chrome instead, with nothing attached, and we read the cookies only afterwards.

  1. Open a terminal in the repo root.
  2. Run the command below. Your real Chrome opens in its own window on a throwaway profile — your normal profile is untouched.
  3. Sign in there exactly as you normally would.
  4. Come back to the terminal and press Enter. It reads the session and saves it, and refuses if the session still looks anonymous.
