Does it? My user agent is still Firefox (default Librewolf after switching on "Resist Fingerprinting"), and well, it doesn't affect me (also added the filter suggested on reddit).

    I haven't explored it myself, but it might be a better test to change the useragent to chrome once it does affect you

    I assume with A/B testing, the issue is only applied to a random set of users. So once it DOES affect you, toggle the useragent to see if it fixes it
