Until a few releases down the line and it is decided for you that the flag should be removed.
This is the problem. Better to just switch to Firefox now and be done with it. Hopefully it'll send a message.
Until Firefox leadership decide to make the same change "because that's what Chrome does". Sadly, over the history of Firefox (and before that, Mozilla/Seamonkey) the leadership there has always been WAY too obsessed with following IE and/or Chrome rather than just building the best browser and taking some chances.

Seriously, trawl through Bugzilla sometime and look how many bugs are closed with the the justification being some variation of "That's how IE does it" or "IE doesn't support that", etc. And then substitute "Chrome" for "IE" later in history once Chrome took over the universe.

Luckily we still have Vivaldi, Otter, Falkon etc.
