It is not possible to block certain clients (or browsers) in Jellyfin.

If you are using a reverse proxy (such as nginx) you can block browser user agents using a piece of code like this in the "server" section.  I'm not home to try it, but it should look something like this

Code:

if ($http_user_agent ~* (Chrome|Edge|Firefox) ) {
return 403;
}

We highly recommend against those kinds of configurations as it will most likely cause unforeseen issues

no global setting but you can do it per user

dashboard -> users -> (username) -> access
uncheck "allow access from all devices"
uncheck any device listed that you do not want access from (chrome, firefox)

downside, jellyfin doesn't recognize chrome as 1 device so you'll have to check periodically, a user on mine currently has 20+ "Chrome" entries and 10+ "FireFox", i assume different versions of the browser

also, any user can just change their user-agent and be back to downloading so no fix other than banning the offending users

In your nginx logs, double check that the user agent matches the strings you set.
