In its current state, the protections are pretty weak. I’m sure they’ll update it, and we’ll see what changes they bring. If this header is meant to serve as an anti-bot measure, then there’s a lot more work they need to do both on the JS and WASM sides. On top of that, processing fingerprint data on the backend, like building user/fingerprint profiles, analyzing detailed browser, device and low level connection info, and using AI to spot patterns, makes the system a lot more complex. However, based on the current implementation, I anticipate they’ll likely stick to a relatively simplistic approach.
