I think they want everyone to use user agent switcher so that Firefox share will drop and then nobody will support it and will die.

Easy: use a user agent switcher that uses blacklists. Mine only spoofs chrome for youtube.com.

Yeah I used a user agent switcher that didn’t seem to have a blacklist feature that I could find and it broke every cloudfare site.

Here’s one, though several others offer the same functionality.

Custom mode:

      "www.youtube.com": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
 }
