OS version: Arch Linux Browser version: Firefox 89.0.2, 90.0b12, 91.0a1 Extension version: 0.1.2 Bridge version: 0.1.0

Description If Youtube URL is included in the whitelist, my comments posted afterward are made invisible by Youtube (maybe for spam). Also if I try seeing my comments in 'Your data in Youtube', it says "Your browser version isn't supported anymore."

  2. Add Youtube URL to Whitelist
  3. View some video and post a comment

Expected behaviour The posted comment should be there.

Yeah, presumably some type of spam prevention. If YouTube is whitelisted, it'll use a nonstandard hybrid Chrome/Firefox user agent string which was the only reliable way I could get it to work.

Unless they've stopped shipping Chrome-specific code with Firefox polyfills, I'm not sure much can be done.
