I’ve been running across sites that demand I use Chrome on PC too, a non-starter since Google “upgraded” Chrome to prevent adblock use. I’ve occasionally used User Agent Switcher for Firefox: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/…/uaswitcher/. Works on both PC and phone.

The Canon app calls on the Chrome app to be there. It’s more than just the user agent, unfortunately.

So Chrome is sharing way more than the user agent with Canon? That’s just ridiculous. I hope someone with the time will take a good look about what information is being sent.

All I can day is that it would NOT work unless I also turned off my system wide adblocker (AdGuard).
For sure they are doing some shady shit.
