This works great until browser vendors that aren't whitelisted but support the features of a whitelisted browser (e.g. Chromium derivatives) realize that they're paying extra costs they don't have to, and change their user agents to a whitelisted browser...

- runarberg 7y agoIt is better to get the feature along with a bigger bundle then not get the feature at all even though your browser supports it. Note the parent is claiming that feature detection is not feasible for a site like YouTube because of the extra cost. Here I show how you can still bundle optimally for whitelisted (i.e. QA-ed) user-agents while still not blocking non whitelisted user-agents from accessing these features, and still not brake the page for user-agents that don’t support it.
