@jmaris It’s possible, yes. However there is at least one piece of evidence (the screencast) of the wait going away when one person at least set their browser agent to Chrome.
That’s what I meant when they’ll likely say it’s accidental/a bug/side-effect. (They’re starting to block ad/tracker blockers like uBlock Origin in Chrome so it would make sense they aren’t checking for ad/tracker blockers there because they’ve made it impossible for them to run.)
End result’s the same.
