What browser agent is that?

As useful as Mozilla/5.0; AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.3

Trick is I took out the actually useful parts like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc. And the OS. All the agents these days have AppleWebKit and Mozilla just so old websites that look for it don’t downgrade the experience.

Yeah, make your user agent absolutely unique. That will surely confuse the shit out server side HTTP Header tracking. 😬

Yeah this isn’t my UA but I’m just saying these parts are what’s considered the supported featureset rather than information about what software the device is running.

Firefox doesn’t pretend to use AppleWebKit. It’s actually the only one which identifies itself correctly… mostly, at least:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0
While about:support says “Window Protocol: wayland”. But that’s ok websites shouldn’t care anyway.
It’s other browsers who send things like “like Gecko” to sneak past old browser-detection code.

Mine is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0. Joke is, this is the trimmed version (about:config xorigin and trimming settings) and some pages already have problems with it. If you strip out the OS, pages like google.com won’t work anymore. Despite that you shouldn’t parse the UA string…
