The fuck?? Isn’t this anti competitive behaviour?
In a previous generation, governments would go after this blatant anti competitive behaviour.
It’s just a shame that there’s really only one government organization globally that will still stand up to corporations.
So they’re doing the same thing as that time they killed Edge and stretched its skin over chromium?
Seriously who downvotes a bot.
Nobody’s getting hurt by a small grammar correction. People may even learn from it and be better off.

So, how to spoof chrome?
BTW, this:
So this is part of a larger adblock checker, if the ad doesn’t load within 5 seconds, it fails and triggers the adblocker warning. Since the ad should load in 3, they’ve set it for 5. If you have ubo, you won’t see the warning that it then wants to pop up, it just seems (and is) a 5 second delay. Changing the UA probably removes this from Firefox because then the clientside scripts will attempt to use builtin Chrome functions that wouldn’t need this hacky script to detect the adblock. Since they don’t exist, it just carries on.
