Comment on Device-detector: Universal Device Detection library from User Agent

Comments

Good tool. I wish Google had gone even further with Chrome in reducing the information in the user agent. It seems like user agent is primarily used as a browser fingerprinting signal.

Indeed - its been years since browsing anonymity was possible (without rigorous opsec and inconvenience).

Believe me, no one identifies users by UA at the moment, it's pointless and even fingerprintv4+ does not do this.
