  That’s a shit take. What’s the point of having user-agents if it’s just a race to the bottom for only supporting a smaller list arbitrarily? It’s not like the bots aren’t going to just spoof as Chrome on Windows 11 anyways.

    Zero, it’s always outdated versions of Firefox or Chrome (if a UA is even provided at all)
