All it took for a v114 successful login was to fake an older Chromium user agent or to fake a Firefox user agent.

I logged in with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/113.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 (on a 110).

Haven't tracked it down yet, only that v123 does work and v114 does not.

v123 can't block client hints!! They see your real agent, most likely that's why they allowed you to login.

LinkedIn data breach of 2012 - 165 million users  (and again they didn't learn anything because see above's 2021 data breach)

Equifax data breach of 2017 - 148 million users effected

eBay data breach of 2014 - 145 million users effected

Missed outrageous Telegram data breach.

No, that can't be it or I would not be able to log in with v94 with client hints disabled.

On the contrary! In that 94th version of yours Client Hint was experimental/partial/not fully implemented.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

In v94, Client Hints can be disabled.  I can screencap if you need proof but it will need to wait until after work.

How then you explain 110 works for me without dances around the fireplace?

Probably the new flag for disabling didn't work either. I remember it made no sense in v87. I started to notice the difference when applied the flag only in 110 and up.

[NotHereToPlayGames]

110 works for me also (just confirmed, with Client Hints disabled).

It is 114 that does not work.

I dropped all the way down to 94 and it works, so I did not originally try 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, and 113.

Only reason I started with 94 is because I was showing that as the last to not come pre-bundled with of-no-use-to-me Widevine.

So stay on 110 for now, it's quite fast (yeah, "gut feeling")

110 is where gradual/experimental sandbox "enhancements/improvements" set in.

I personally consider 110 an "alpha release".

Though with the high-paced rollout of new versions, one could easily argue that EVERYTHING is CONSTANT ALPHA.

Why would you care about it? Only users below 10 might notice, At least, it's less of bother with polyfilling.
