Let's ignore for the moment that this has been reverse engineered. If they only look at this header, then legitimate users using non-chrome browsers will get treated as bots. If the these headers are only used for chrome user agents, t

Why would they think this was a good idea after losing the chrome anti-trust trial? I don't know the intended purpose is for this, but I can see several ways this could be used anti-competitive way, although now it has been reverse eng

Google has a history of sabatoging Youtube on Firefox. See for example https://www.tomshardware.com/news/youtube-responds-to-delaye... . It isn't unique to youtube either. Gmail offline mode only works on chrome, e

Some developers are lazy. Some probably don't know that that is the right way to do it. There is a lot of legacy code from when checking user agents was more acceptable. It is much more difficult for server code to know the capabilitie

Has any chromium based browser committed to continue supporting MV2 or building an alternative API for ad-blockers to intercept web requests in MV3 even after the code for MV2 is removed from upstream chromium? If not, then no, switching to

I'm curious how the author identifies the crawlers that use random User Agents and and distinct ip addresses per request. Is there some other indicator that can be used to identify them? On a different note, if the goal is to waste res

It allows you to use bound variables/constants as long as the expression includes a dot so you can distinguish it from a capture variable. Scala allows matching against bound variables but requires it either start with an uppercase let

Part of the problem is due to the marketing of LLMs as more capable and trustworthy than they really are. And the safety testing actually makes this worse, because it leads people to trust that LLMs are less likely to give dangerous advice,
