Why not just change your user agent string?
- tardedmeme 5mo agoIt probably fingerprints the browser via TLS fingerprinting.
- mschuster91 5mo agoThat's useless, in fact it makes you stand out even more. There are SDKs that can differentiate based on an awful lot of signals if your user agent corresponds to your actual browser version.
- codedokode 5mo agoBecause the site can compare the user agent with navigator.platform, which your browser fills with great care.
- userbinator 5mo agoThat naturally implies we must patch the browser. "Source code? We don't need no stinkin' source code!"
- codedokode 5mo agoThat's what Russian underground hackers do to create so called "anti-detect" browsers, which can emulate different browser fingerprints. But they are commercial and closed-source.
