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)
Why
agechecker.net-bypass? Suggestion: Change that name to something more generic likeagecheck-bypassquick. You will almost certainly run into other URLs you can add in, and future users are going to think this only works with “agechecker.net”.@Fmstrat When it works on other site I will change the name! For now it only works on agecheck.net so it’s named like that to not confuse people who haven’t read this post.
OK, but that’s going to be a lot more confusing when it happens for existing users. Especially if a platform requires you to start over vs update a name.
