Probably Netscape

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. 😬

Having a non-unique user agent probably doesn’t make you not unique.

Oh gee, I wasn’t aware there was more to it than the UA. Thanks for opening my eyes.
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.
7heo@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Yes, I get that point, but I also think that it’s tempting for the privacy-minded novice to think “the less information I provide, the better!”, while in actuality, it is better to provide “more” information: the most common UA, even if it means lying about your featureset. In this case, truly, more is less.

Firefox doesn’t pretend to use AppleWebKit. It’s actually the only one which identifies itself correctly… mostly, at least:
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.
