Everyone still uses browser detection. There's no other way to determine a specific rendering engine, feature detection solves a whole different set of problems, it doesn't solve for rendering quirks. In this case the browser is unknown, so they use the most compatible version of the page.
- michaelt 7y agoIf by "the most compatible version of the page" you mean they deny access, you have an unusually generous definition of compatibility :)
- Someone1234 7y agoIt doesn't deny access. I just tested it, it just gives you a version of YT with fewer features and a dated UI.
