One option is to attempt (despite of all of the obstacles they might put in place..) to increase Firefox's market share, perhaps by spreading the word about privacy concerns and/or ux benefits.
Another might be adblocker-esque trusted and shared community-maintained lists along with an add-on (does this exist?) for per-domain user agent mocking. Hopefully with enough adoption (i.e integrated into ublock) that it reduces the value proposition of investing the time.
Thirdly, continuing to call out the companies who do this sort of thing.
- sirfz 7y agoBut why would market share matter if the browser is more than capable of handling whatever content a site serves. I don't see this relevant to the issue. I think the fact that Firefox doesn't announce the device's model in its UA could be a factor so some sites fall back to their lower quality version by default but it sucks that we can't force the higher quality version.
- jddj 7y agoAlienating users for using adblocker-capable software might be a more difficult sell as the group gets larger.
