Comment:

 Thanks for opening this ticket @georgestephanis - I agree we should be
 paying attention to this, and may eventually need to update all use in
 core of `navigator.userAgent`.

 For now, it seems like most core use will continue to work even with the
 reduced userAgent information discussed at the bottom of the ticket
 thread, because we only look for the browser name in nearly all cases:
