Meta: This has to be one of the most aggressively blocked pages I've encountered as it refuses to render any content if you have an adblocker on (uBlock at least) and resists several forms of archiving.





I'm able to access the site with uBlock Origin.

Same here on firefox/linux. Is that IP dependent?

Same here

I also had the worst anti robot thing ever. I had to hold a button for what feels like 10s. Who does that?

uBlock on, pihole on the net - not sure what it dislikes more.

I see a screen (light grey on white) which reads something along to "Press & hold" some button to confirm i'm human. Which does nothing, because of adblocking?

Well, f* you then - let me find something different to read :)


This will work (make sure you check the video at the bottom):

Odd, it's just fine for me on firefox/ublock origin.

I'm also using firefox/ublock but I'm getting the mentioned agressively-blocked page. I'm also using a VPN, if that makes any difference.

I also see the extremely light "Press & Hold" message to prove I am not a bot. I missed it the first few times I loaded the page because my eyes just don't pick up on things like that very easily (I'm the guy who turns the brightness up in video games with a lot of shadow). Not only does this press & hold action seem to be ineffective, but they made a message that some humans have trouble seem to keep bots out? Smdh.

Which is disappointing, because I've ordered from digikey countless times, both for work and for personal projects. There should be absolutely no reason they clamp down on people using adblockers since they are highly profitable already. Guess I'll be looking for a different parts source.


Even with uBlock and Cookie AutoDelete disabled it doesn't work.

OK. Then I'll order my stuff from Mouser in the future.
