Wow those bugs are really something

Are these available as an npm package? Would make for a great April Fools prank

Many years ago the agency I worked for was tasked with delivering a new website for a major UK brand. The hipster London marketing agency we had to work alongside pushed so many garish ideas that I ended up creating a jQuery plugin called "disco mode". It set a timer and on every tick would select a random element on the page and apply a random effect. Slowly the UI would disintegrate into a maddening, incoherent mess of clashing colours and animations, and then there was also the plugin I mentioned.

This project seems to be using Chrome to load the pages through Puppeteer.

Ticketmaster can easily check `if(navigator.webdriver)` before loading the page. I don't think that can be fixed without recompiling the browser. thank you Google, very cool.

Unfortunately only on HTTP sites since the assets aren't served over HTTPS. Though thankfully it's easy enough to grab the resources and re-host them behind HTTP.

And, of course, you can test it out on that website since it's served over HTTP.

I doubt the review will succeed, mimicking other sites is explicitly one of the criteria they mark unsafe for.

Like I know this is just a joke site not meant to trick people, but it still runs afoul of google's unsafe website criteria by being a site whose sole purpose is being a MITM.

it might help to have an obvious/thick window decoration around the pane of the site you are cloning, similar to the large header archive.is shows to make it more clear you aren't trying to fool anyone.

Though with a google review who knows if a human will ever even see your appeal...?

It's got an OpenDNS block now - https://phish.opendns.com/main?url=www.fuckupmysite.com

Has two IPs in 'free' DNS which were giving a Vercel 'deployment gone' message moments ago.

Firefox gives me no such option. My only CTA is "Try again" which only repeats the same "Secure Connection Failed - SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG" message, and when the paragraph is expanded, there are no links and actions aside from "Learn more" which links to a Mozilla page explaining it further.
