Native Useragent and Overrides

Post by noellarkin » 2024-06-30, 10:56

Many of the overrides (github.com, mozilla.com, mozilla.org, deviantart.com etc) have this useragent override:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:6.6) Goanna/20230101 PaleMoon/33.2.0
whereas the native useragent is (as of today):

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:6.6) Goanna/20240616 PaleMoon/33.2.0
where %OS_SLICE% can be Windows NT 10.0; WOW64 etc (the oscpu value)

20240616 seems to be a truncated version of the build ID - 20240616103424

So I'm curious why there's a different Goanna/xxxxxxx value being sent in the overrides.
