Some critical sites I need to pay through are so fundamentally broken by uBlock Origin and uMatrix that I've been forced to use the embedded browser in the LastPass app.

Since they're utility bills, credit cards, insurance portals, etc, I don't really have a choice not to use their services.

Why not just use the default browser?

FF is my main browser, so for anything behaving in a finicky way, I use Chrome, which doesn't have any extensions or Google IDs attached to it.

You can just disable your ad blocker for the website.

There are some sites where I've tried fully whitelisting them on uMatrix, and that's enough--so I give them a dedicated Container Tab and use it that way. But there are others where even with uB0 and uM completely disabled, the site still refuses to let me sign in. I'm not sure if it's some combination of Firefox's built-in tracking protection, or the fact that I'm coming in through a VPN, or what: but at some point, rather than spending a half hour fighting with it, just signing in on my phone was easier.
