@Fmstrat Well technically I added support for another platform just now (see github) and so I changed the name. I don’t think in 1 day I had too many users lol

@cipherd Snooping around in the console and not wanting to show my face to some random website! Also, reading the docs on their site helped.

More technical details https://github.com/helloyanis/agechecker.net-bypass/issues/14#issuecomment-4801644570

@kutt The block is a front-end popup that sends ID data to the back-end, and when the back-end completes verification, the front-end dispatches an event and closes the popup window.

So if, let’s say, an extension replaced the popup script by something that would fire the event immediately, then sites would work!

@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.

@TheDarkQuark if they change it, then all of the websites using it will also have to change their code. But I don’t think they will change it unless the extension goes crazy viral, they won’t bother imo

@Maeve @privacy Yeah it doesn’t need to be done right away! Take care of your things! :dragn_mlem:

@Maeve @privacy I didn’t think when waking up today that I would be called “Furry savior” ! But I don’t mind hehe!

Feel free to tell me if it works on librewolf so I know!

@Maeve @privacy Haven’t tried but it should be! Follow the instructions on GitHub!

@bamboo Not sure if that’s exactly what you mean but each site can set up the age verification by loading a script and adding event callbacks, like redirect_url to set an URL to be redirected to once the verification is over, and onclosed which occurs when the verification is successful, and where the site can set some code to run.

So if you just block the popup, it never appears and can never fire onclose and the code that happens after will never run.

Since sites are often minified and obfuscated, and the call for the popup can come from any file, I just replaced the response to requests to the popup URL, to have my own script that fires the event and/or redirects to the page, so that it works every time.

I think the only way to counter this is, if they change the URL (I can later update it too, or if a website hosts their own version of the file (so it will be at a different URL and be undetected). But all of these have easy workarounds as well.

@ZeroHora This is just a facade so that we eventually take over the world, but shh!!

@bamboo I dont’t think so? I’m not sure how uBO filters works but the popup file is supposed to send an event to the main page to let it know that the verification is done and I don’t think uBO filters can do that

@rockSlayer Glad you like it! Hopefully it gets approved on the store so it can be installed more easily!
