    I can't read the Irish Times letter page on my phone without register/log in but i can on the computer. Is there a way around this? I tried request desktop and get it but still cannot read them. Is there any way to change the user agent on a phone?. i have firefox browser and android 9.

    I have no issue reading the letters either - using Chrome on Android 10 (OnePlus 7)
