Oh by "Web Environment" you mean "my machine" lol!

I already got caught by this kind of thing - a https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier app wrapping Youtube Music doesn't work, because Google detects somehow that you are not using a trusted browser and refuses to serve.

This is sort of moving in the "zero trust" (as in let's use ML etc. to detect if we trust something. username/password is not enough), which I fear because it will break a bunch of stuff for genuine users and make things less reliable.

The thing is with existing fingerprinting you can patch against it, with this it would be very difficult.

Did you mirror Chrome's useragent?

The workaround was pretend to be Firefox, which didn't work. Gave up after that as this was a passing curiosity.
