- jeffbee 5y agoThere's a huge difference between "supported" and "whitelisted".
- shakna 5y agoIf your browser's user agent lies outside the "supported" list, you will be presented with a page telling you that your browser is insecure. It's a whitelist. I... Am unsure why you think this is not the case. You can test it. Or look at any of the many articles after Google made the change.
- jeffbee 5y agoI set my UA to "Bob Dobbs 42.69". It still loads, and it doesn't say "your browser may not be secure" which is what this thread is actually about.
