Comment (by ehtis):

 Client Hints can be tested in Chrome 84 beta.


 Also, re. the traditional User-Agent string format:

 >First, the phase of the project that reduces the amount of available
 information in the traditional User-Agent string to browser (e.g.
 “Chrome”), major browser version, and mobile/desktop, has been deferred
 until at least 2021 to provide additional time for the ecosystem to
 evaluate the new UA-CH capabilities.
