Yep, and more and more OSes and browsers detect this situation and propose you a button to go to the portal. At least for me, both KDE and firefox have their mechanism for this.

It still breaks a lot of stuff (notably, the Nextcloud client) as long as you are not logged on the captive portal, but well…

Android, iOS, and windows also have this functionality. It's a shame there hasn't been a widely implemented standard for captive portal things yet. Even if what we have now works alright if you're doing web things.
