    Easy enough to test though. Load the page with a UA changer and see if it still shows up when Firefox pretends to be Chrome

      The video in the linked article does just that. The page takes 5 seconds to load the video, the user changes the UA, they refresh the page and suddenly the video loads instantly. I would have liked to see them change the UA back to Firefox to prove it’s not some weird caching issue though

        Yeah, and also Edge or an older version of Chrome etc just to be sure.
