Can User-Agent blacklists be bypassed?

System Details This is Windows 11 with the latest thorium browser

Problem I am experiencing inconsistent access on Reddit specifically on the Thorium browser. I receive a message indicating that my IP may be banned. However, when I switch to a mainstream browser like Google Chrome, i can access Reddit without any issues. This leads me to believe it may be a user-agent issue, as if this browser along with Supermium and many are blacklisted. What's next? Image
