We recently added "Chrome/140.0.0.0" to our User-Agent string which
fixed an issue with some web servers ignoring or throttling us.
Unfortunately we were still being served crappy version of many
major websites.
This patch improves the situation by adding more lies, specifically
"AppleWebKit/537.36 Safari/537.36". This gives us modern versions
of sites like Google, GMail, Instagram, and many more.
This is a sad compatibility hack, but it's unfortunately necessary for
many prominent websites to work in Ladybird.
With our previous UA string, we've observed things like:
- Getting HTTP 403 for every request
- Being served "your browser is not supported" pages
- Being served outdated/broken content
- Extreme network throttling
- Other annoyances that magically go away if we change the UA string
By playing along with the silly game and putting Chrome in the string,
most such problems disappear instantly and anyone trying to use Ladybird
has a much better time.
Note that Ladybird *is* still in the UA string as well, so you can
easily identify us if you want to.
