Disable captive network support in #MacOS (useful for wifi connection in public places like Starbucks)
Raw
captive.md

To disable it, set this preference

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.captive.control Active -boolean false

Then, as @Leon mentions, use the regular web browser to login. Or if you are on a network where that somehow does not work then you can still try and open the app manually (located at /System/Library/CoreServices/Captive Network Assistant.app )

In case, you would ever want to remove this setting, you can do:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.captive.control Active
