I agree. There are some add-ons that spoof/disable this header for you, but as you said, this breaks some sites. I agree, as a consumer, that website that rely on the header are out of luck with regards to my business, but at work I don't always have a choice with regards to which online tools we use. But white listing the things that break is a fine solution in that case.
