I added Reddit to my age verification bypass extension!Age verification is everywhete, so I'm making an add-on for #firefox to bypass age verification on many platforms!addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-v , source code at github.com/helloyanis/age-veriI just added Reddit to the list of supported sites! It can now automatically remove the NSFW log-in popup when viewing NSFW subreddits. (Yes I know we have Lemmy on the fediverse, but I think it can still be useful!)If you don't have Firefox, or want a more private experience, you can also use a front-end like redlib at redlib.catsarch.com to avoid communicating with Reddit entirely, and you don't even need my extension on that one!(Video shows off the concept but doesn't show any actual nsfw contents)@privacy@lemmy.ml @privacy@lemmy.world @privacy@programming.dev#ageverification #web #privacy #reddit

That’s quite a fitting subreddit for demonstration

    Nice! I might have done something wrong though, as it doesn't seem to work on android. I was able to install the extension, but was still locked out by reddit.

    @UnfairUtan Huh! That is strange, for me it works!Are you sure you have enabled the extension and allowed it to run in private windows if you use these? Is it version 1.0.3?"..." > Extensions > Age verif bypass > Cog wheel > Details

    Would you be able to make something like this work on iOS? Or perhaps a user script?

    @Deathgl0be Not really to my knowledge as I use many APIs specific to web extensions, I can store data in my extension's database so websites don't break or interfere with it, I listen to media requests, store cookies (even secure cookies) to replay them correctly...It might be possible via an userscript but you would pretty much have to start over from scratch. I am already struggling to make something optimized for PC while still working well on Android, and as I don't have an iOS device for testing (and it would take lots of work) it's probably not happening. Sorry!
