That's a low-level Microsoft style move. Didn't thought Google will do it
Is that specifically a browser issue, as opposed to a webscript issue for detection?
Is it still an issue in Librewolf, Brave, and Ungoogled Chromium?

Reminds me of Peacock's web client trying to get me to use something other than Brave browser, because Brave browser blocks their ads completely.
HAHA, nope.
Peacock straight up disallows anyone running Linux from using it, regardless of what browser they're using. Guess I'll just pirate lol

So I've heard good and bad things about Firefox in this thread. The bad things being mainly the performance, and some sites just don't load...
So my question to you is, If I'm comfortably browsing on Brave with uBlock on, is it really worth the switch right now?
You're posting on Lemmy and you joined seven days ago, so it's a safe bet that you have some opinions about Reddit. So I'll put it this way: if you have a problem with the way Reddit concentrates power in the hands of u/Spez and want to support alternatives because of that, then you should also have a similar problem with how Chromium-based browsers concentrate power in the hands of Google and reject Brave in favor of Firefox.

Performance wise widely depends on the site used. Some sites (notably Google ones) are notorious for implementing anti-competitive behavior, where if their website is visited other than a chromium based browser, it slows down or a functionality stops working.
I mean its the whole reason why Microsoft switch from Edge Edge HTML to Edge Chromium/Blink.
The only good reason right now if you want to stick with Chromium based browsers such as Brave is you're heavily into browser based games as currently Chromium (and it's older brother, webkit) are the ones that have the best webgl performance, Firefox can do it but not as fast as Chromium and performance impact is very noticeable

To me, the answer will always be "containers". Firefox containers were a game changer and I can never go back.

Slowing down their ability to profit off of you, that is.
