Can't the browser just fake itself to look like chrome/safari without extensions to get the WEI server token?

* CON: The problem is that the WEI server could change it's tracking faster than the browser app updates it's fakeness though. There's more money in bypassing adblockers than there is in blocking them.

* CON: If it does fake itself, when you return to the original website it can assume there's no adblocker and fail to load with the adblocker unlike now where it's usually ignored.
