Google uses slowdown, its super effective.
Actually, Firefox counters with uBlock Origin and Google's slowdown misses.
Was about to ask which extension can spoof Browser Strings for specific sites.
Good ol' uBlock counters yet again. We gotta protect that extension and all the filter list maintainers.
User Agent Switcher used to do this.
Waaait really? Why am I still using a separate user agent switcher??
That's awesome!
afaik it doesnt spoof the user-agent (which doesnt really hide your browser for more advanced scripts at all), but simply blocks the script responsible for checking.
Because Google apparently cannot afford to do such checks in the backend, same with the Ads, all Client-Side, no wonder we can easily bypass it.
