Starting today, UK adults will have to prove their age to access porn online. Experts warn that a global wave of age-check laws threatens to chill speech and ultimately harm children and adults alike.
It is privacy invading, morality policing, de-anonymizing, state surveillance.
Nothing less.
PS. If you want to download a video from a site that doesn’t have a download button, use the Inspect feature (right click on the page, not the video, and click inspect)
*On the Network tab - Sort by size. Reload page. Find the video. Open the video in new tab. It will be just the video. Right click and save as, or click the download button, or click the 3 dot menu button and select download.
On Firefox you can often bypass this entirely by shift + right click. And should see a save video as option. If not, the inspect feature works the same.
For hls/TS videos (m3u8 streams), if you reallllly want, you can copy the link for the stream and use VLC to convert the stream to a file.
This also often lets you download at higher resolution than they offer to download.
Yes, I porn.

And thanks for all the suggestions. I’d rather not install browser plugins if I can do it without. CLI tools are cool though. The less I need to install the better.
Its easier to just sail the torrential high seas and get that 4k h265 quality shit that sites keep for paying members only. Once you know the models name its easy to get their entire collection.
No worries! In a lot of sites you’ll find the embeded video or picture in a link in the source code. However, I haven’t figured tried to get this to work on YouTube in mobile browsers so that might not work
I’d imagine you’d need a browser that has developer tools, which is far less common on mobile. A simpler solution would be to use a separate app that just takes the page URL and downloads the video for you, such as this one: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.junkfood.seal/
Note: this isn’t free but I use 1DM+. It has it’s own browser that filters out the videos for download. It won’t work with YouTube and a bunch of other websites because Google acts like a little bitch to the developer.
It is not age verification.

to convert from hls (m3u8 streams) to mp4, you can also use ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i https://y.com/path/to/stream.m3u8 -c copy output.mp4-i <input>specifies the input file-c copyspecifies that the contents should not be re-encoded (which would take a lot of time and computing power)output.mp4is the output fileNow this I can use.
Vlc can be a bit… Tedious.
Thanks.
Shout out to yt-dlp, the absolute unit of software beneath lots of media scraping tools.
You can also use MPV Video player, should be able to play many URLs you throw at it.
yt-dlp is also insanely good for this - just install it, point it at the URL and it’ll usually figrue out how to grab the video without any fuss.

I professionally pron too.
ARRRR!
Nowadays I’m also worried about acquiring a stealerlog collection as well.
A what?
Or just Video Downloadhelper.
I really wish I could upvote this more than once. This is awesome.
How would one do this on a mobile browser?
If you’re on Android you can use yt-dlp in Termux. A little inconvenient but it works.
Chromium based browsers have an option that lets you view the source code by putting “view-source:” before the URL to see embedded videos
So

I never knew this. Thank you!

Kiwi Browser has developer tools

That is fucking amazing. Thank you!
