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)

I hate to be that guy but it still doesn't work - same results as my previous screenshots. I reinstalled the extension and restarted the browser but there's no change. I have been testing this by directly accessing the subreddit via the URL, hand typed into the address bar - not via links from somewhere else on Reddit or the wider internet.

@BaroqueLobster I see that the popup says "View in app" while the one I block says "Log in", can you log out and try again?

I'm not logged in, I don't have an account so there's no way anything could be cached either. It also does the same thing in a fresh private session. If I switch the page to desktop mode using the regular button in Firefox, I get the following:
