I always grab a user agent switcher right after uBlock, comes in handy… makes me feel like Hackerman ;-)
Makes me feel like a caveman doing the about:config string change since like 8th grade.
O.G. Status ;-)
wait you can still change ua with about:config? how?
I use Chameleon. My user agent changes every 30 seconds
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
How is Cloudflare a massive security risk?
How are they not? They are a MITM and a company based in The US.
You're not wrong.
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 😂
