I think so. A solution to this might be to croudsource an extension which changes the User Agent on known good apps (where changing it just works but they've decided not to let you use it).

Correction: known bad apps (where changing it just works but they've decided not to let you use it).

I consider it very shameful behavior, sabotaging the internet.

Well I meant it as 'apps that work good' when changing the UA string.

I kinda got you, just think that they do not deserve the word "good" at this point :)

I feel like the endgame here is that everyone will just ship Electron apps. Then the web goes completely dark.
