--- Comment #2 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at gnome.org> ---
As far as I can tell, Google Drive is no longer displaying unsupported browser warnings at all, except for Internet Explorer. That's a welcome change. I think it is a very recent change, because I tested it when creating the Internet Explorer quirk and determined it was really required. Anyway, I will remove our quirk for Google Drive.

Even better news: it seems we no longer need to send our Google Docs quirk to accounts.youtube.com. That was previously required for the quirk to take effect, but now it's sufficient to limit the quirk to docs.google.com. I think that was actually our fault, not Google's: it was probably an artifact of bug #191858. This is a *huge* relief because it means that if our new quirk does break something in the future, the scope will be limited to only Google Docs: it shouldn't blow up youtube.com or mail.google.com or accounts.google.com, all of which has happened to us in the past.

I discovered that a Chrome quirk seems to work on Google Docs without breaking anything. So for now, we can safely go with that. It's a risky quirk and could easily break in the future, but we don't have many options here.
