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)

    Check you IP on a blacklist checker. I was (am) on one for no apparent reason. They will do that, I was refused email accounts, refused access to wikipedia talk, and corporate emails keep trying to force me to hand over personal information. Tutamail may still give you an email, don’t bother with proton.

    You don’t need to do anything just go to the site, if it’s the same one, and click check, and it goes through several dozens of these blacklisting sites.
