I have a proxy http script in val town that simply fetches lobsters with the right user agent and returns the response as is. I have a bookmark to scriptname-lobsters.web.val.run.
It works for now. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a cat-and-mouse game, but if it does I'm ready. I understand Lobsters' POV, but I also suspect they had an axe to grind with Brendan Eich back from the Proposition 8 donation.
- switknee 1y agoI suspect it is just political pettiness. None of their complaints about brave seem to hold water. Why should Lobsters be bothered by brave ads? That only happens if the user tells their user agent (brave browser) to show extra ads, in order to earn a worthless cryptocurrency. If the user wants to see extra ads or otherwise modify their browsing experience it isn't a concern of the website. Lobsters also doesn't seem to value the brave token, so why is it a problem if they can't access less than $100 in brave token? Brave leaking DNS to cloudflare in tor browsing, compared to google Chrome leaking every request to google at all times? Why not block Chrome?
