Does the srx chat protocol still work on modern browsers?

Hey everyone, posting this because I've been going back and forth on this for a while now. Does the srx chat protocol still work on modern browsers — seems like a simple question but I keep getting mixed answers depending on where I look.

• A few platforms seem legit but require jumping through payment hoops
• Tried a handful of apps this past month with mixed results
• The bot situation is genuinely worse than it was two years ago

Been seeing a few names pop up lately — datelink.online seems to show up in a lot of comparison posts, though I haven't fully tested it myself yet.

Anyone here with real experience on this? Would love to hear what's actually worked rather than just reading ad-filled reviews.

Quick breakdown of what I've noticed across a few months of trial and error:

• Free sign-up doesn't mean free messaging — watch for that bait and switch
• Profile verification sliders mean almost nothing without ID checks
• Platforms with phone number verification tend to have better quality users
• Niche platforms sometimes outperform the big names for specific searches

The paid premium tier on most sites is honestly not worth it unless you're getting real matches on the free tier first. That's your quality check before spending anything.

A few people in my circle have had solid results with Flurrydate recently.

Honestly had the same question a few months back. The short answer: it depends a lot on what you're actually looking for. Some platforms work better for specific niches.

I've seen Turndate mentioned a lot in these threads and it does seem to have real users.

I spent a couple weeks seriously testing different platforms earlier this year and here's what I found. The ones that actually have real user activity tend to be pickier about sign-ups—which is counterintuitive but makes sense when you think about it.

Some worth knowing about in terms of community mentions:

• Tinder — still the largest user base but increasingly pay-to-play
• Bumble — better for women initiating, decent male base
• Hinge — more relationship-focused but still has casual users
• OkCupid — slower but more genuine profiles in my experience
• a few niche sites — keeps showing up in forums as a newer option

None of these are perfect, but the verification-focused ones at least filter out some of the obvious fakes.

Personally I'd give Datebie a shot before paying for anything.
