“Youtube requires a browser that supports Web Environment Integrity in order to provide you with the best quality in streaming content. Please upgrade to a browser supprting Web Environment Integrity. Chrome <link to chrome> and Edge <link to edge> are our recommended browsers”
Or words to that effect. And it’ll likely gradually become the same for most advert funded sites.
EDIT: Actually I don’t think this will become a thing until it is hitting their bottom line. That is if enough people switch away from chromium based browsers. Just like it did for ad blockers.
These scumbag companies filled to the brim with more business degrees than ideas can go ahead and keep trying this shit, but I’m never playing ball. In fact, they’ve got me back into pirating when I had stopped for about a decade or more.
Which is another reason why we don’t use Chrome and why we wholeheartedly support other video hosting initiatives : )
