Wont work, the moment this lands in Chrome websites will check for it and if your non chrome browser doesn't implement it they will redirect you to an upgrade your browser page. Browsers that fake it will get the same treatment, do not track has already shown that advertisers will not respect any attempt to prevent tracking by the user.

Controversial opinion:

Why is that wrong?

If you want to consume content that costs money to produce that is being paid for via advertisement, and your user agent blocks said advertisement, why should you be entitled to that content?

Controversial counterpoint: If you want any minimum wage job your boss should have the implicit right to install cameras in your bathroom and sell videos of you showering on the internet.
Comparing user configurable topics of interest (in full control of the user and the browser the user decides to use) to involuntary camera recording in your home is some next level disingenuous bullcrap.

Do better here please.

I never said that you couldn't tape over any camera you found. Just that your boss can implicitly install cameras and since the topics are subject to change he can install new ones without telling you any time he likes.
