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)
@TheDarkQuark if they change it, then all of the websites using it will also have to change their code. But I don’t think they will change it unless the extension goes crazy viral, they won’t bother imo
Doesn’t matter, even if they do then you and others, well I guess “we” now, can come up with another solution. AdBlocks are still there … because they work. It costs very little to fix (add or modifying a regex by 1 person that suddenly reaches thousands if not millions of users) whereas they have to find a new solution that is indeed compatible. It’s not a race they can win.
