I made an extension that bypasses online age verification

To show my stance towards online age verification, I made a small (literally, less than 10 kilobytes) add-on that will completely skip ageverif.net’s verification prompt. (Only that site (for now?))

With more and more data breaches going on it’s important to protect yourself by not sharing unnecessary data, and to show how broken some age verification platforms are!

It’s #opensource too! https://github.com/helloyanis/agechecker.net-bypass (more info on why I do it is in the readme)

    That can be caused by how the browser is set up. If you use Firefox with resistFingerprinting disabled and the only privacy extension being uBlock Origin then the sites should work fine.

        I’m close to giving upon the internet entirely, beyond Lemmy that is.

        I have nearly everything self hosted and once that’s done, I will fucking refuse to use anything beyond that

        We’ll, wikipedia is cool still

      Of course forks should also work, but make sure resistFingerprinting is off and WebGL is allowed.
