Reddit Now Blocking Firefox for Android with uBlock Origin?

25 points by chucksmash · 6 comments · 1 min read


I was recently bit by reddit's decision to block usage of old reddit when signed out, which was my normal mode of reading.

Now, new this morning, I get this error when trying to sign into Reddit on Firefox w/ uBlock Origin:

> An error occurred. Please disable any extensions or try using a different web browser to continue.

Is this real life?

These sites are doing everything possible to make sure real users quit using their sites and go outside instead. Good for them.

still works for me. Maybe A/B testing or just something on your end?

Firefox 155.0.1, Android 16 (Samsung S24), uBO 1.74.0

    Rebooted the phone and I now have access again. Inclined to believe it was an A/B test.

    Firefox 156.0, Android 17 (Pixel 8a), uBO 1.74.0

A/B test that flagged your fingerprint, reboot cleared whatever session state triggered it.

The reboot result makes an intermittent experiment more plausible than a blanket browser block.

That's a generic error message and suggestion. I doubt it relates to the real cause
