Doubtlessly, this will be rationalized and justified as being necessary for, and in the best interest of, consumers... ...but inevitably, it will be used for tracking -- regardless of intent. It might also get Google in trouble. Copying and pasting from the a comment in the OP's URL: > Example: https://www.youtube.com https://www.youtube.com - in network headers, look for x-client-data > Now, go to https://ad.doubleclick.net/abc https://ad.doubleclick.net/abc - and your browser also sends this magic x-client-data. > It's a unique ID to track a specific Chrome instance across all Google properties. > Really curious about your opinion, especially after the GDPR explicitly forbidding such tracking. Moreover, it doesn't make sense to anonymise user-agent if you have such backdoor.

  You may give https://hackerweb.app https://hackerweb.app a try! Aside: It is read only though.

    I don’t appreciate your link to a third-party reader here, because you’re implying that the contradiction of HN’s style guidelines (code formatting is for code) is somehow made acceptable by the existence of an app that reformats it for only a few readers. If I switch to an app rather than ask the person to stop, the other HN mobile users who use a browser rather than app will continue to suffer. ”Use an app” is not an acceptable choice.

Can Chrome extensions on the new proposed v3 standard remove that outbound request header?

It seems my comment may have been misinterpreted. I meant that this will be rationalized and justified BY GOOGLE.
