Couldn't Amazon just change the signature to look like firefox or something? I wish google would have just made their own prime app instead of blocking them.

  It's not a matter of Amazon's programmers being unable to, it's a matter of Amazon being uncompetitive and Google deciding to fight back.

    Google is literally blocking access to the youtube.com website. This is clearly anticompetitive too.

      No one is arguing it's not – but most people agree its warranted given Amazon's previous anti-competitive behavior, i.e. de-listing competing Google + Apple streaming boxes + Nest products + never offering integration of Prime Video on the Apple/Android TV in a clear move to promote FireTV + Prime membership

          I know you're being facetious, but in many states legally yes, provided you're caught in the act.

            I am not being facetious. IMO, it is not warranted for anybody to break laws in retaliation to another person breaking a law.

              I agree with you. however, the people murdering the thief would claim that they are not breaking any laws.
