Funny if it becomes self reinforcing.
1. All the bots use the top UA to stay anonymousish.
2. This increases that UA share causing more of 1
3. Some of the bots are mission critical so humans complain if that UA is rejected so it is always accepted
4. Actual browsers decide to now just send the always accepted UA on any system to ensure the best experience, even as tech changes.
5. 100% of browsers send the 2022 UA top ranked string in 2032!

An issue with Vivaldi browser was reported at the beginning of the year where google search/gmail/etc would show broken pages with links and buttons not working: > Search for example shows the carriage, but does not accept user input. > Gmail opens the page, but does not respond to any clicks to open emails. > Image search doesn't show the images and pretends it's stuck "loading" IIRC the issue was resolved on Vivaldi's side by changing UA to Chrome's for google services.
