Started to get this message when accessing Reddit. I use LibreWolf as a browser, which does indeed provide a more generic user agent to combat fingerprinting, but nothing out of the ordinary either (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0). Anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: seems to have resolved itself. Thanks for confirming I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Let’s hope this isn’t some new algorithm to test if for insufficient fingerprinting so Reddit can kick ad-resistant users.
While it’s true that many browsers choose to follow a convention that includes that info,
User-Agent
is just a string, so something likefuku
is a legitimate UAhttps://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1945#section-10.15
Really? Huh, TIL. Thanks.
