      Now that wasn’t necessary at all, I should have a right to view the document without having to login to Google.

      Sorry to bother your thread, but some of us halfway appreciate keeping some level of privacy and trying to avoid ending up on an Epstein list for even looking at documents…

        I didn’t have to sign into Google and I also don’t use Chrome. All I had to do was click the age verification with no real verification follow-up steps.

          Okay. Did you miss my comments where my device just errors out with Invalid Data Format?

          I had to load the file into a hex editor to discover that indeed the supposed PDF is not, it’s an HTML…

          I could not get the document to load up natively at all. I only figured out the lockout shit from a hex editor.

          Fennec browser on Android 11 tablet.

            Why are we doing tech support for this guy who overestimated his tech literacy? Prince Andrew controlled ISIS and this dude wants us to figure out why Fennec downloads based on path extension not mime-type

              I renamed the file extension from PDF to HTML and loaded it locally, and sure enough it asks whether I’m 18 or older. But since the script was loaded locally, the Yes/No buttons don’t even work.

              I’d have to get the script to load as HTML straight from their website for it to work, but Fennec thinks it’s supposed to be PDF, hence the Invalid Format error.
