If Youtube isn’t allowed to check my browser if I use ublock origin. Is it allowed to check what browser I use and restrict curtain things?

I'm not an expert in such things but I believe ublock origin only filters what comes through to your browser. It doesn't do anything to stop your browser from sending a correct user agent.
