Use of User-Agent is deprecated
User-agent sniffing is strongly discouraged. See "browser detection using the user agent" or many other similar pieces.
It is also possible if not likely that the user-agent header will stop being sent at all by most software for privacy reasons in the medium term.
For information only:
Native mobile apps will use user-agents like:
PugpigBolt v3.20.0 (iPhone, iOS 17.1.1) on phone (model iPhone15,4)or
PugpigBolt 3.19.1 (google, Android 13) on phone (model sdk_gphone64_arm64)This user agent may appear on its own, or appended to the user agent of the web view we are using (e.g. Chrome or Safari). Additionally the user agent may contain BackgroundDownloader.
