I made an extension that bypasses online age verification

To show my stance towards online age verification, I made a small (literally, less than 10 kilobytes) add-on that will completely skip ageverif.net's verification prompt. (Only that site (for now?))

With more and more data breaches going on it's important to protect yourself by not sharing unnecessary data, and to show how broken some age verification platforms are!

It's #opensource too! https://github.com/helloyanis/agechecker.net-bypass (more info on why I do it is in the readme)

It's funny how the UNIX epoch and my DOB happen to be the same. I wonder how many other people were "born" on 1/1/1970?

It was a busy day in all the maternity wards

You mean 1970-01-01 00:00:00

Oh hey look! Fellow new years baby!

Yeah, I wanted to say "19700101000000" but wanted to be clear for those not in the habit of reading timestamps formatted the way they were back then (although the "19" was usually left off) for easy comparison. Should've thought to put it the way you did.

We should all mean this. Truly the logically dominant date format.
