[Solved] Google is blocking Edge from using google drive
Microsoft Edge Version 82.0.459.1 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
- Mar 24, 2020
User Agents are getting deprecated, they can't be completely removed considering the amount of problems it will cause for older legacy websites.
Freezing them will prevent the browser version from updating, similar to this:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3764.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/75.0.131.0They will only be used to distinguish between mobile and desktop devices.

By the way it also happens in InPrivate mode. first it asks me to enter my email and pass, then 2step verification and then shows me that message.

HotCakeX I have not been able to repro this, and it's really frustrating. Typically, what we see is that google will change a library somewhere internally that has a hard-coded string for UA string checking; when we find we are being blocked, we ping someone over there and they fix it.
