Browser Fingerprinting Forces Sites to Lie About What You're Using
Source: Hackaday
Major websites are now actively detecting browser identity and deliberately misrepresenting their own capabilities or performance to Firefox and Safari users. This is a direct consequence of Chrome's market dominance and these browsers' attempts to mask their identity to avoid discrimination. Sites optimize for Chrome first and treat competitors as second-class citizens, reinforcing Chrome's lock-in rather than pushing the web toward genuine interoperability standards. For consumers, the browser you choose increasingly doesn't determine your actual web experience; the sites' assumptions about your browser do.
