I read in a comment on Reddit (lost the link at the moment), that it doesn't appear to be nefarious. Basically, they're trying to do feature detection based on UA instead of.. actual feature detection.
- karrotwaltz 10y agoGoogle is also doing this with Universal 2nd Factor working on Chrome but not on Firefox (which supports U2F with an addon). Can't tell if this is intentional though.
- gsnedders 10y agoPlenty of parts of Google have done UA-sniffing all over the place. Opera, even after being Chromium based, have had plenty of problems as a result: the UA doesn't match so therefore they get an "unsupported" or "degraded" experience.
