ROFL - guess what?!
Just opened youtube.com with KM1.6, and surprised to find this message:

youtube with IE7-UA
Oops, your web browser is no longer supported.
YouTube works with a wide range of browsers. However, if you'd like to use many of our latest and greatest features, please upgrade to a modern, fully supported browser.
But no, it's not what you think! Accidentally I still had the IE7-Useragent active, and THAT one is outdated.
But because KM1.6 with it's (almost) native UA nearly never gets such "outdated browser" warnings, I just switched back to that normal one, reloaded the page - and fell off the chair laughing!

You're awesome!
That's right! Your browser is up-to-date, which means you can use YouTube's latest features. Enjoy!
Just for fun then tried the fake
Firefox 3.5.16 UA that was shipped with KM1.6, and sure enough, it was blocked!
Even the mouch younger
Firefox21 is blocked!
KM74 with Gecko24 seems to work fine too btw - as long as there is NO FIREFOX included in the sent UA!
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140105 K-Meleon/74.0)
Have noticed that before a couple times, older Firefoxes tend to be blocked on googles mega sites, while KM is still allowed.
Someone over there must have a heart for KM, or else it may have to do with that legal browser choice thing in IE, where KM is part of the selection. But whatever - I love it
IE9 is allowed yet, but gives this warning:

Just for fun you can check it at this page if you like:

with that UA (pref "general.useragent.override")
