I think we're there, not 2 years away.

I have software that won't work quite right in Safari or Firefox through a VPN every single day. Maybe it's the VPN and maybe it's the browser but it doesn't matter. We're at IE levels it's just ever so slightly more subtle this time. I'm still using alternatives but it's a battle.



VPN's layer 2... I suppose it could be resizing packets in such as way as to make it glitch out, but that just seems improbable.

Some of the warez sites I download torrents from have captchas and other javascripticles that only work on Chrome, but I've yet to see it with mainstream sites.

Fight the good fight.


The VPN could be on an IP address with a bad reputation that's getting soft-blocked by some stuff
