Do a significant percentage of users spoof their agent?
- gizmo686 12y agoMost mobile browsers have a "request desktop site" feature, which I assume would involve spoofing the user agent to look like the desktop version.
- bsimpson 12y agoIt spoofs the platform, not the browser. Mobile Chrome/Safari should have feature parity with their computer cousins.
- Cthulhu_ 12y agoMost mobile web applications that would use this polyfill wouldn't have a separate mobile / desktop site and have just a good responsive design, so mobile users wouldn't feel a need to request the desktop site. That feature is usually used (I assume) because the mobile versions of websites often offer limited functionality.
