I'm gonna explain my point further; You can make it look like you're using Chrome when you're not, and if everyone just makes it look like they're using Chrome, then developers will only support Chrome and Google can and will pull off whatever shit they want to like Web DRM, just under a different name which they've done in the past. So the minority using Firefox won't have proper support and will see more pop ups like these from more websites. The only difference being whatever feature the website needs actually won't be supported on Firefox because developers only see that everyone is using "Chrome". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kyouki@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago How about not having these arbitrary not needed restrictions in the first place? This is just the usual scummy behavior from this company. permalink fedilink source parent [–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago Yes the developers will see the spoofed data like you said.. But is the UA the only classifier? Would like to hear a devs opinion. Maybe the people making those decisions need to be sensitive about this skewed data. permalink fedilink source parent
