I get 403 Forbidden error using Samsung Internet Browser with my Samsung A52s

User agent :

Hi All,

I didn't think the following was still relevant but maybe it is?

When the restriction (403 Forbidden) was set for iPhone's (iOS), I just download the Dolphin browser.
1. Click the dolphin icon at the bottom center of the screen.
2. Scroll the dolphin screen left.
3. Select Desktop Mode.

Desktop Mode changed the user-agent enough for me to browse the forum from my mobile device.

No, the block is done by user agent. You need an up-to-date version of chrome, or you can use a bit older Firefox. Nothing I can do really or the bots will flood the forums again.

oddly I just got 403 forbidden with Edge win 11 but it works with FireFox
deleting cookies didn't seem to work but I might have to restart the browser.

Could you tell the user agent of edge ?

On the phone with the “Samsung” browser, I get “Forbidden”, Firefox and Chrome browsers freeze by 30%.

Whatever the intension for the last forum changes have been, it blocks actual browsers of multiple mobile platforms.

Samsung S23, Android 15:

I use DuckDuckGo (always kept up-to-date) on Android and this forum loads and is working fine.

I was wrong, Firefox works for me. There was a VPN enabled so it didn't work, after disabling the VPN it worked. But because of the fact that the translator sites don't work (Google, Yandex), then I can hardly read or reply. It's on the phone.

I usually use Brave as browser and it works quite well. Look at the comparisons with other browsers on the web. It also includes tor

No problem observed in the period between the first message of this subject and now : I can see again my friends here !
