Describe the bug
Attempting to grab a rss feed from a newgrounds account results in a 403 error

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/
  2. Enter a newgrounds username and click generate feed
  3. See error

Expected behavior
A rss feed containing the art of that user

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: linux
  • Browser: firefox
  • Version: 2025-08-05

Additional context
Having used yt-dlp to grab newgrounds videos quite recently, I imagine this issue can be solved by using browser cookies for authentication. The documentation at https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/General/Project_goals.html doesn't seem to contain any details on providing cookies for websites other than a select few.
