I heard that it can be blocked using ublock origin and then I can scroll infinitely without needing to login ? Can someone confirm and share the steps.

Edit: People trying to find a solution. Unfortunately it can't be done. You have to login using an email.

Yes. Didn't work before I used the trick by OP

Can you take a screenshot scrolling half way through the page ? Like the screenshot I posted

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I can't take scrolled screenshots on my phone, but I can scroll to the bottom, if that's what you wanted to know.

How did you do it? Please share the steps

I just went to the filterlist, set a checkmark for all annoying filters and applied. Not much more than that. Plus I'm using a VPN so maybe that helps somehow as well, dunno.

My additional add-ons are decentealeyes, noscript, privacybadger. Dont think that makes a difference tho.

I'm surprised you can access the site with a VPN. Mullvad is completely cock blocked and immediately redirects you to a login page.

I am also surprised, but VPN is definitely connected without leaks.. I just checked. And usually I also have problems.

I'm also still getting blocked on other websites.

[–] yoz@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I did the same without the vpn but no luck.

Huh.. ok I just disabled the options again and it still works? Does it still use the filters maybe? I didn't check today before applying.. but I know it usually doesn't work with Insta, so I assumed it was the change in ublock.

Might be IP related then or I was just lucky? Who knows..

I tried using the usually blocked IPs of the dutch server too.. but everything works. I'm confused lol.

So weird, but seems like you're not the only one. I was actually surprised as well. Didn't think this would work lol

It's odd that it didn't work for me. I had to create my own filter to remove the overlay.

I did update all my lists first, too.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you on Firefox on Android too? Funny that we have such different results somehow

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm on the Fennec fork of Firefox, but yeah. It should be the same.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I am also on fennec haha

Could it possibly be the country you're connecting to via your VPN?

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Definitely is the server, just crosschecked. So yeah the tip didn't help, but changing the server did. I use AirVPN btw.

My bad for not properly checking earlier as to what the actual reason were.
