Firefox also ships a "system" add-on (https://github.com/mozilla-extensions/webcompat-addon) that has interventions and user-agent overrides for many websites. See for yourself in Firefox on about:compat.

Google Chrome Update will cause Big Issue For 2 Billion Users
Which is still the wrong solution. Heck Firefox is hard-codding fudging their UA due websites that refuses to give features which they support but that the developer managed to never verify https://github.com/mozilla-extensions/webcompat-addon/blame/main/src/data/ua_overrides.js

Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun
