Make discuss.kde.org working on Falkon browser

Brainstorm

Strange is the fact, that the discuss.kde.org page is not running on a default KDE browser like Falkon.
If I shared how to bring it working out of the box.

Solution was posted from"Tionisla@Tionisla" in the Mastodon chat at “2023-04-04 17:59:27” (thanks to @Tionisla)

@justinz @polyna @kde ok, just got back and got it working thanks to Justin🙂

As workaround for all who want to visit discuss.kde.org with KDE’s Falkon Browser:

Get into the Preferences for Falkon (ctrl+shift+,)
→ Extensions.
→ Choose “Adblock” then click on “Settings” button below the list of extensions.
→ “Custom Rules” Tab
→ Options → Add Rules
Enter: “||discuss-cdn.kde.org/brotli_asset/browser-detect-*.js”

and next time you visit the discuss.kde page the message is gone. ymmv, tho

But, still to create/reply a topic is not working (you can only generate draft).

Hopefully Angelfish, Falkon and Konqueror soon get ported to Qt6 giving them a newer QtWebEngine so they work without workaround with Discourse.

Yep, I also hope some small issues at Falkon will be fixed. Like the not propper detection of Logins and the not so readeable logininformation at kWalletmanager5.
Additional it will be nice if AdBlock will be replaced by the better uBlock Origin :wink:

Make sure you put bug reports in for those, issues and feature requests tend to get lost in forums.
