Src: Some sites now reporting "Out of date browser"

Created on 15 Jun 2020  ·  7Comments  ·  Source: kiwibrowser/src

Loads of sites, especially those using HTML5 video are now reporting an "Out of Date Browser" page and requesting I download another 'more modern' Android browser. Could we get the Chromium base updated please?

Also seems to be related to #113

Why not share the URL for others to test? Are you embarrassed that it's porn or something?

(works when the page checks for an old chromium ua and not actual browser features)

I've actually tried this, is does not work.

Tried enabling webassembly flag?
Also it would be better if you post some affected sites link where your facing this issue.

Thank you for your reply.

If it's because the lack of webassembly support( #113 (comment)) then you can enable this flag as a workaround for now. @nesasio93
chrome://flags/#enable-webassembly-streaming

This did not work either sadly. Exact same message _"Dear user, your browser is too old! <.site.> supports only modern, secure browsers! Please update your browser or choose another browser to continue."_

Navigating to any other URL redirects to the same message. It's a forced page redirect so not a popup or otherwise that I can block either. I think the base just needs to be updated. Regular Chrome for Android works fine.

I also made sure to clear cache, swap networks and quit the Kiwi client completely before trying again.

I described my personal problem in #113, which is a dealbreaker for me. No other problems atm.
