This is not a question about paranoia but a technical one.
There is an old bypass method to allow to skip the initial forced registration on Kobo readers needed to access non-book store functions such as the web browser and other sync features.
Supposedly, this old bypass method no longer works. However, a much simpler bypass method pop-up a few months ago on Reddit:

that supposes to work on Libra 2 generation of devices.
Has anyone tried out on the new Libra Colour or Clara Colour to see if it works "out of the box" without previous sign-ins?
