A whitelist would be even worse since that would mean that any new browser would first need to be approved by Google and even versioned by them since the user-agent may change. Also, Firefox in distros may have a special agent made for it like is the case with Fedora.
Now, imagine if it wasn't only Google doing this and I'm sure you can see why that would be very very bad.

From people's testing, yes. It's bypassable by changing the user-agent.

I do find it ironic that Konqueror was one of the affected browsers.
