Sorry for the typo, I meant scraper. A web scraper is a tool to collect data from websites.
Noticed that. It used to be easy to bypass, because old.reddit.com allowed me to go there with a VPN, but they recently patched it. I found that changing the user agent to make it look like you’re on Chrome and Windows, alongside with US/Canada VPNs tend to get around this, but it isn’t very reliable.
Stealth used to work for a while, but not anymore either.
They are doing it to stop scrappers scrapers and punishing people who use a VPN is just a bonus to them.
Ok. I’m a bad person because I enjoy using a given browser. I get that.
This is a straw man argument; no one said you’re a bad person for using a certain browser.
nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.
This is what they are criticising you about. You could be using Edge or Chrome, it wouldn’t matter here, that wouldn’t make you a bad person. The point is that pretending there is no connection when there is clearly a huge relevance here is massive.
Interesting. I’ll try with a few different VPN points.
