Seems fixed? I just checked with FF. Also from a Reddit Admin: > We believe we've tracked down the issue that was impacting some of your bots. There may be some lingering 403 issues as we hash it all out over the next day or so > https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/r55zax/comment/h...

I can't help but have a sinking feeling that this as a result of the wider trend of using only Chromium-based browsers. If they were the ones affected by this issue, I feel like it would get solved almost immediately.

Hell, probably wouldn't have even made it to production.

The post you're referencing is two months old.

Interesting - was getting buggier and buggier as I used it today before the "blocked" started showing up. Super curious to see what caused the issue.

Their status page had rising error rates and a big voting backlog spike for some time before I hit the 403 issue personally.
