I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

I haven't checked, but I'd guess it's because of some non-standard feature that only Chromium supports, not because of user-agent.

    In my experience, companies typically use this message because they only officially support/test on the listed browsers. They block out any other browser to cut down on support emails. If you spoof your user agent so the site thinks you're using a supported browser, somewhere between 95%-100% of the functionality will usually work just fine.

    That's what our devops team does. All of my company's internal web apps are tested against chrome only and that's all that's supported. It will usually work with Firefox so it's not a big deal unless you have an issue and they find out you're not using Chrome.
