Hello! I accidentally found this out a couple nights ago and haven't tried to do it again since.

Normally, you're supposed to be able to guest click an egg/Pokemon once per day. However, I found out that if you use two different search engines (eg, Firefox and Google), you can guest click at least twice. I felt that this was an oversight or bug, so I'm reporting it just in case, since I feel like taking advantage of this is cheating.

Don't think the scenario you're describing is necessarily a browser issue but rather connected to the devices you're using. Based on the screenshots, I assume one guest click was done via your phone (google browser) and one from your desktop/laptop (Firefox), yes? In that case, it means you're clicking from two different IPs* since one device = one IP.

* unless both devices are connected to the same wi-fi, then they usually share the same public IP (that of your router) and guest clicking with both devices won't be possible, just with one.
(Sometimes though, they still have different IPs or whatever and guest clicking multiple times/with multiple devices is possible, but I don't know the specifics here - I don't have much in-depth knowledge about this kinda stuff haha. Just something I observed over the years with my wi-fi at home.)

@Kuroo When I used Google on my computer, the guest clicks would only count once between my computer and phone, despite being different devices.


EDIT: so I tested it out using both Google apps on my computer and phone. Turns out you're right. I think, though, I might've found the actual answer.

So usually, I have my phone on data instead of WiFi because of internet issues at home. I turned WiFi back on on my phone to see if it did anything, and the ability to guest click an egg was removed because I was using the same WiFi my computer uses.
