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!

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass/ , source code at https://github.com/helloyanis/age-verification-bypass

I 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 https://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)

That’s quite a fitting subreddit for demonstration

@guynamedzero I mean, there are so many NSFW subreddit, let's at least show it off on a fun one! 😄

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.

Just go to old.reddit.com

It works fine.

[–] helloyanis@furries.club 4 points 1 hour ago

@stoy @UnfairUtan Yeah, that works too! Or redlib. I'm just trying to make it easier for the people who prefer the current interface and don't want to relearn everything

[–] helloyanis@furries.club 3 points 1 hour ago

@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?
