Is it possible to get around this with user agent spoofing? Or maybe degoogled Chromium?

It is possible to make the website think I am using chrome and windows, but I don't want to get in trouble for cheating. Even if I use degoogle Chromium it still won't allow me because I use Linux.

I managed to get mine working.

Edit: SEB now checks for browser integrity so this is no longer relevant.
