    It’s bizarre how blatent this is. Google has so much power over web standards that Mozilla have to work really hard to make firefox work, but YouTube don’t bother being subtle or clever and just write ‘if Firefox, get stuffed’ in plain text for everyone to see.

      Google has been doing this kind of thing for a while. If you try to use Google Meet in Firefox, you can’t use things like background blurring. Spoofing Chrome works in that situation as well.

        And the stupid thing is that all I use Chrome for is Meets… And that’s it. Do they really think they win me over?

          Not you or me. But most people, yeah.

            That is, as always, the problem: it works for them. The average Joe isn’t going to implement a new filter into ublock…

          You can change your user agent string, the text your browser uses to tell the web site you’re looking at what browser it is, either via your F12 developer tools menu or via an extension.

          The most convenient way is with a browser extension that changes your user agent. You can also change it in the developer options of most browsers.

      In my other comment I provide a link to the US DOJ anti-trust complaint center website.
