No, this shows you're not interested in pleasing anyone. There is no universe in which instructing the user to change browser software is preferable to adding milliseconds of latency at pageload. This attitude is so wrong it's almost sinister.
- mattnewton 7y agoI am not defending YouTube redirecting a UA it hadn’t seen to download chrome when that UA explicitly went to /new for the new experience. I don’t know what happened there, and if I did I probably couldn’t say. I am defending using the UA to tier responses based on the principle that it lowers the latency before the page is useful to the user, and I don’t see how that is a sinister practice.
