Every time I turn on ua switcher I wind up in an infinite loop with cloudflare captchas. I literally cannot turn it on because of the aggressive practice of this one company. I am going to try the chrome mask extension the other user just posted, since it deals with some js shenanigans as well.

Probably because your JA3 fingerprint does not match any known fingerprint of a public version of google chrome. Im not even sure if you can configure your ciphersuites in TLS Hello with just a lowly extension
That might be the how, but the because/why is that a company is arbitrarily enforcing horrible design decisions by many websites that force users to use specific browsers, and penalize/cripple those who try to work around such nonsense. There has to be a less lazy way of combating bots, if that is even the real reason for them being so aggressive about it (which I doubt - it's going to be about money for major stakeholders in the end).
