Get a browser spoofing add-on! I have google fiber, and I've found that my internet is faster if it thinks I'm using chrome 🤷‍♂️

That doesn't make sense, a "browser spoofing" addon most certainly doesn't do anything that would be detectable by an ISP listening in on your encrypted connections.

Amazon is not an ISP though...? In this scenario, Amazon Prime Video is a server that is receiving a series of HTTP requests. User agent spoofing absolutely would work in that scenario.
