I think they want everyone to use user agent switcher so that Firefox share will drop and then nobody will support it and will die.

Easy: use a user agent switcher that uses blacklists. Mine only spoofs chrome for youtube.com.

Thanks, will definitely check out this unnamed extension.

Here's one, though several others offer the same functionality.

Custom mode:

 {
      "www.youtube.com": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
 }

Yeah I used a user agent switcher that didn't seem to have a blacklist feature that I could find and it broke every cloudfare site.
