Oh cool I didn't know this was a thing. I had assumed everyone needed to put in their own overrides individually; but now I see PM has a bunch of built-in overrides for popular sites so everyone can benefit. Out of curiosity, how would an updated setting for everyone like this get distributed - would it come in just by installing a PM update? Also, is there any Help documentation other than in this forum?suggestion [for us] to change the Facebook user-agent override
Updated settings may be pushed out with browser updates, yes. Essentially it's an update to the setting's default value. If you've overridden the setting with a value of your own, it remains unchanged after the update; otherwise the new value will take effect when the update completes.
