### Log output

### Dump of locals
_No response_
### Additional context
If you open https://vk.com/badbrowser.php it states the browser in use is outdated. While visiting the site with my default browser it works fine, however snscrape requests always get redirected, which is probably why the 0 results bug occurs. So there seems to be problem with the request itself.
