I've used this feature in the past. There are some weirdneses.

You lose your timezone and ALL dates appear in UTC. This is definitely not desirable.

Fingerprinting cannot be allowed for some sites, and thus things like android messages cannot work because it cannot accurately identify the browser.

Hopefully they'll do something about all this.
