Question DA changes?

Did Dviant art remove it's confirm your age to view mature content without logging in, or is it my switching to chrome doing it?

Wait, you switched to Chrome? Right now, when Google decided to f* up users and reduce the effectiveness of ad-blockers and other similar privacy-enhancing tools? I have seen several tech pundits lately advocating ditching Chrome (usually, but not always, for Firefox), and that's when you go and move to Chrome?

Sir Lee is correct.
Do *not* bother with Edge, guess what engine it uses?

Firefox is *much* better than it used to be

(I use it, plus Duck Duck Go)

More to the point, DeviantArt has had a striking redesign ("Eclipse"), but you can toggle back to the "old site" design.

Mature content still requires a sign-in, whatever their criteria for "mature" is.

For the full details on how DA handles content tagging, please see their policy on mature content.

In short, the user uploading the work tells DA whether or not the content is considered mature. If they mark it as mature, they then must decide whether or not age verification is required to view the work. What might have happened is that the work(s) in question was/were uploaded as mature, but without requiring age verification.

Hope that provides a bit of prospective.

Firefox was driving me nuts with it's streamlined downloading feature. I had to do an additional step as the dl would stop as well as screwing up the formatting. hrome came preloaded, so -shrug-

-eye roll- I used to have a DA account, but I lost the password right about the time my old net provider got out of the bi and closd the email addy it was linked to. I hadn't bothered re registering until now as DA used to let you just input you bday to say yep legal age to view this. But it seems they took that away. And DA is being very slow to sent/Gmail ate the verification mail

I'm not sure what you mean by the "streamlined downloading feature", although I had to relearn how to download stuff since Quantum removed support for DownThemAll... anyway, one of the things I did was to go to Settings/General and select "Always ask where to download files." That un-streamlines the download and lets me choose where to save stuff.

In that mode, Firefox also remembers your last choice for saving for any server/mimetype combination -- meaning it might suggest different folders for JPGs and PNGs depending on your past behavior. I find it handy for, say, saving webcomics -- it will default most webcomics to its own folder (well, except for big sites like GoComics, where it can't tell comics apart since they are all in the same server). But it might be confusing at first, since it might suggest a different folder than what you were expecting. It's particularly annoying in sites like Blogger, where the server that houses a file has no relation with the URL of the blog.
