Feature suggestion: warning when clicking offsite links.
    #27669950 - 02/23/22 12:40 AM (1 year, 10 months ago)

I've been thinking about this one for a while. I'm always accidentally clicking on images that turn out to be offsite links. It'd be nice if there was an option under the display preferences where you could have a warning when clicking an off site link. A page that says something like "warning, you are about to leave the shroomery to visit (URL) Proceed, cancel" something along those lines. Should probably make an exception for links to sponsors of course.

I've seen those kinds of warnings on other sites and products sometimes, but it might be especially useful on the shroomery. Not sure how difficult this would be to code, but wanted to suggest it. Thanks!

Especially JavaScript can be nasty. I open everything even remotely sus in a separate VM. Ended on some obscure site and nearly dodged some shit a few days ago. There was a seriously obfuscated JS function, one of it's parameters called "payload". Though, had to spoof my user agent to some non existent thing to get that script off that site for dissection...

Drive-by attack.

Sure, that was pretty easy to add. There's an option now in your display preferences under "How to handle offsite links?" to "Prompt before visiting." Please let me know if you notice any problems.

This works great, but I wanted to suggest an exception for images technically hosted on the growery. A lot of the images on the shroomery that become larger when you click on them show a warning when you click on them because they're technically hosted on a growery url. It's nice to know that the feature is so secure that it even blocks images hosted on the growery though!

Sure, thanks for pointing that out! Everything's on the same server anyway so there are no additional security implications in this case.
