Website written by an asshole tho - crawler protection that excludes browsers without javascript enabled.
Can access fine (with reduced functionality) on my end with JS disabled - maybe you have something else tripping it up or something?
Dunno, it is th duckduckgo browser for Android (from F-Droid store) on default settings that failed to access...
Seems like something else tripping it up. Just tested with DDG Browser from F-Droid. Passed the bot test, no issues. Did have to reload the page once for it to render properly though. After that, worked just fine. Aggressive DNS ad blocker, maybe?
My bad, I should have read the error better (although I could have sworn it was complaining about javascript before, I probably misremember): The actual error is
Still, that is on default settings...
Try contacting the Forgejo admin, they can enable the HTTP meta refresh challenge, though it does have a higher false positive rate. https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challenges/metarefresh
You're the asshole for expecting an open source project to have to spend all their time supporting every possible niche browser/configuration, rather than spending time building their actual product that people want to use.
Because disabling JS is unheard of in the open source world, right?
They implemented a feature that breaks the website for people who otherwise have no issues while providing no functional value to the site "rather than spending time building their actual product that people want to use."
It's one thing to expect them to do special work to support an uncommon configuration, and it's another to feel frustrated that they did extra work to break a less common but still unremarkable configuration.
I entirely support people not wanting bots to scrape their shit, but there's a handful of websites I use that use this specific blocking software and it frequently gets angry and blocks me if I'm on my phone for no good reason. It's annoying, and getting angry at the user for being upset that your website is broken is about the only thing more unreasonable than demanding that an open source developer do work for you for free.
Yeah same, I'm on Brave and Anubis is blocking me. Not hating on them for using Anubis though. It is unfortunate that it's blocking me nonetheless.
(Inb4 I am told to commit sudoku for using Brave, yes I know the owner sucks)
If you know, why still use it?
Not like theres a bazillion other chrome browsers and you could probably use any other browser (depending on the add-ons you really need)
Because the other browsers have less features, and the other owners suck as well. As for the browser itself, Brave it probably the best chrome-based one out there for desktop
I'm trying to take a progress over perfection approach to these things. My number one priority was to get off of Chrome and Firefox is pretty rough on mobile. I tried a few things and Brave was the one with the best experience, especially because of the ad blocking without needing to mess around with a bunch of plugins. I figure I can go deeper into that iceberg over time. What do you use?
Really? I am using Firefox on mobile (Android) and I'd say it's pretty much fine for most of what I use it for.
Plugins (DarkReader, ublock, TWP) work very well and the overall experience is totally acceptable.
Recently even 3rd party passkey support was enabled, stopping google from intercepting the requests.
Same problem here but JS is enabled
edit: cleared cookies and removed useragent spoofing in brave shields and it seemed to have worked
Anubis is a PoW open source crawling/DDoS protection
Directly cloning should still be supported, I hope
