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

[–] [email protected] 1 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I did the same without the vpn but no luck.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Here are my ublock filter list. This works for me

After this you can clear site data from browser and reload
