Wouldn't there be a statute of limitations on this?

> Sites that use reCAPTCHA/Turnstile/etc. have already been broken for me for years now due to neverending captcha/refresh loops.

I had this problem recently with the Indeed website. (Cloudflare Captcha)

Thanks to someone on Reddit, it was discovered that anyone using a Chromium based browser (Brave, Vivaldi, etc.) on Linux was being punished.

Awfully frustrating having to set up a Virtual Machine just to be able to access one website via Firefox since even my hardened Firefox was being punished.

Why not just change your user agent string?

That's useless, in fact it makes you stand out even more. There are SDKs that can differentiate based on an awful lot of signals if your user agent corresponds to your actual browser version.

Because the site can compare the user agent with navigator.platform, which your browser fills with great care.

That naturally implies we must patch the browser.

"Source code? We don't need no stinkin' source code!"

That's what Russian underground hackers do to create so called "anti-detect" browsers, which can emulate different browser fingerprints. But they are commercial and closed-source.

It probably fingerprints the browser via TLS fingerprinting.

Aside from watching anime, reading manga and listening to Japanese radio (which was to help me get acclimated to people talking fast), I try to play games in Japanese.

That's always a great way to learn new words.

I didn't have much interest in Mahjong originally, but after playing Yakuza 0 back in 2016(?) I really got into it.

My issue with SimpleX is that the company is in the UK, and it's developed in the UK under UK law. https://simplex.chat/transparency/

Considering how fiercely anti-encryption the UK is/has become (because "only child molesters care about encryption!"), this is sadly reason enough for me not to trust it.

Do I believe they have a backdoor in their software? No.

But if the UK passes a law demanding they introduce one...

Its FOSS so such a change would be visible.

What government are you certain will never introduce a backdoor requirement?

Windscribe is now the third one to be terminated by Microsoft as well...

5eplay.com has also been suspended, as well as my company.

You know what's funny? Even China doesn't do OS verification and block everybody from every website by default.

As someone from the UK, do you honestly believe the UK government would be happy with just "true or false" data?

I agree with this. Just because a website can eat all my RAM doesn't mean it should...

Australia also believe that women with small breasts in porn causes people to become child abusers...
