    I always grab a user agent switcher right after uBlock, comes in handy… makes me feel like Hackerman ;-)

        Doesn’t that causes issues with sites using Cloudflare anti bot protection? But maybe my add-on was sending a different one for each request. I am using User Agent Switcher. I disabled it and only enable it on YouTube.

          It depends how horribly the website has misconfigured cloudflare. I can log into cloudflare’s website.

          Generally I prefer websites that don’t use cloudflare. Its a massive security risk

        I’m like that :-) Going to have to give it a try.

        I kinda want to see one of Microsoft’s websites having a javascript seizure trying to recommend you switch to Edge 😂

    The less people spoof and the more people use Firefox + Linux, the less of a need there will be to spoof at all.

    I just won’t use websites that won’t work with a Firefox + Linux user agent in the same way I won’t use a website that blocks ublock. I’m just not going to give Chrome or Windows a stat boost, even with Librewolf where I unspoofed the UA.

    With Linux usage at an all time high, I’m itching for the year of the Linux desktop.

      I totally agree with you. I’m not sure that strategy works though. All they will (still) see is 0% linux/firefox users no matter if we spoof or not. It will just be fewer users.

    What do you think about sites that don’t work with all variety of DNS (not even cloudflare) or proxies or tor or Firefox or Chrome or varied AP or varied devices–in short, all access combinations?

    Dead link? Total Information Awareness roving tap castiron?

      I think you got the message backwards. What’s actually happening is Firefox runs a mask to look like Google. In an alternate universe Mozilla is evil and Google is having to mask.

        Ah, ok, my bad. I missed the joke :(

        I really thought that the Mozilla extension was an answer to a move that Google made.
