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.

    I’ve got Hermit setup for /r/CombatFootage and it’s still loading fine.

    I’ve got a custom user agent (‘mobile’) and I block everything that I can.

      I would strongly discourage changing your user agent to anything no standard. Doing that makes you extremely easy to spot in a data set
