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.
No, unfortunately. The guy seemed really mad. Calling the other guy a moron, idiot, and telling him to apologise. From what I could see from the comments, it seems like the one guy visited the angry guys website, and the guy threatened to use his IP to find out where he lived. Then used threats about how it’s nice to sleep at night without fear, and that if you piss the wrong people off you’ll know.
All because the guy was having Linux issues and said windows worked better for them. I only found the thread because I’m also having the same issues lol.
That’s a massive yikes. Be sure to report shit like that.
The mad guy sounds tech illiterate anyway. Nowadays you can’t track people by IP anymore. Sure you get a city, maybe a city district and then what?
To prove my point, here’s where my IP (Without VPN) will tell you where I live: Berlin. I live on the other side of the country compared to Berlin.
These scriptkiddies are so pathetic .
