Why would anyone use PayPal at the first place? I have only negative experiences with them. Constant blocking, freezing account and then unfreezing it with no explanation why it was frozen in the first place just panacea "fraud detection", chargebacks months after the purchase.
If you need to split a bill across people from many different countries, there aren’t other options.

Revolut! There are also pretty high referral bonus (around 80 dollars per referral where I come from). You can ”charge” it using Apple Pay or Google Pay, and it’s very convenient.
When you meet up with from people from enough places, there really aren’t many options.

My guess would be they're using some 3rd party library of "fake user agent detection", and this library just has a whitelist of what's "acceptable".
Given that the "fix" involves making the string reported "Possibly Apple, Possibly M1", I am going to say it's a blacklist.

One click checkout vs filling in credit card info on yet another website. None of your issues apply to using PayPal as a form of payment; you don’t need to keep a balance at all.
I think the real problem is that any website can get a ton of information on your GPU, including vendor, model, supported extensions etc. via WebGL/WebGPU.
Seems very unrelated.
Anyone who works on fraud protection who can explain how this info is used?

Yeah, I understand it's probably part of their fraud protection, but feels weird that they get my GPU info when doing a payment. Seems very unrelated. Anyone who works on fraud protection who can explain how this info is used?
