They try to present it as "detecting abuse", but it's literally just "allow servers to block non-verified browers"(in other words google blocking access to their services for non-chrome users(the people proposing it work for google)).

And as always these types of asshats always shit all over anyone using accessbility tools(or don't even consider them in the first place, which amounts to the same thing).
- i personally don't understand why companies overlook accessbility, is it to save profits?
  
  why did you waste your time asking that question when you already knew the answer?
  
  It's always the profits!!!
  
  I get it costs money to develop accessibility, but you can't rip off a blind man if he can't navigate your sight. I truly don't get it.
  
  Edit: site, not sight
  
  I want to laugh but .. well .. I'm not crying YOU'RE CRYING
  
  They've simply run the numbers and decided it would cost more to support the blind man's access than they could get from plundering the blind man.
- "Listen, if we didn't think about it, it's clearly not important."
