What exactly will it break?
- The-Compiler 7y agoI often talk to people reporting a broken website in qutebrowser where it turns out to be due to a Firefox user agent. Some examples (there are lots more via IRC/Reddit/...): https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4302 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4302 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3822 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/3822 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/1187 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/1187
