Such a weird thing that it essentially discriminates Mozilla based browsers though, I’d expect bots would follow the most-used-approach. So yeah, this does not make me happy…although the anime-girl kinda does
At first I was getting it for some proxy services and fediverse services, and didn’t think much of it cause I thought it was just some thing small projects used instead of cloudflare/google. But yeah now I’ve been seeing it on more “official” websites and I’m happy about it after I took time to read their github page.
I especially love it since I don’t have to cry over failing 30 “click the sidewalk” captchas in a row for daring to use a VPN + uBlock + Librewolf to look at a single page of search results. I can sit on my ass for 5 sec and breeze through, assured that I’m not a robot 🥹
I keep seeing this on serious sites and it makes me happy

It doesn’t discriminate Mozilla based browsers. It checks if the User-Agent string contains “Mozilla”.
Due to historical reasons, every browser (and software pretending to be a browser) has “Mozilla” in it’s User-Agent string.
This is a User-Agent string for Google Chrome on Windows 10:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/137.0.0.0 Safari/537.36Is it blocking you? I pretty much exclusively use Gecko at this point and don’t have an issue yet.
What’s the problem with Gecko browsers exactly? The only issue I have is disabling JShelter for new domains.
