I think a lot of people are forgetting that Google saying "the browser must not try to impersonate another browser" is a fairly funny part in itself. Everyone remembers the User-Agent for Chrome starts with "Mozilla/5.0" right? It has always impersonated another browser for compatibility reasons. For so long that we take this for granted now.
