ua-client-hints VS chromium-legacy

The Client Hints specification covers a lot of this already - https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/#content-adaptation-u... ... DPR, width, and viewport-width are already available in some browsers. Hopefully other hints will be available soon.

I encourage you to review the decision making and engage in the discussion here: https://github.com/WICG/ua-client-hints

chrome is starting to implement UA-CH, which splits up user agent info into individual headers sent by the client: https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/

As a Firefox/FreeBSD user occasionally annoyed by this nonsense, but not being knowledgeable about modern web standards evolution, I wonder if https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/ will fix this by killing User-Agent headers.

ua-ch might reduce the amount of data browsers send, though it's gonna take a while to move away from regular user agents: https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/

There is a JS companion to this proposal that splits up the information in a similar way

A niche suggestion if you have all of the time: if you don’t rely on icloud services, you can actually try very old os x like mountain lion + this for browser

If you can do it, I'd go to Lion. It added so many features such as the launchpad, the option to reopen windows when you restarted your computer, etc. It's new enough that Chromium Legacy will work, and it's what I use for my unsupported Mac OS X installs. Unlike Arctic Fox which is essentially pale moon 27 under the hood, Chromium Legacy is fully up to date as of when I'm posting this.

Chromium Legacy goes back to OS X Lion 10.7 and is being actively worked on. It has its limitations compared to the original Chromium (see Readme): https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I don't use GitHub much so I don't know, so how can you tell how many people are working on a project, like for Chromium Legacy: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I haven't tried it myself, but a couple of minutes ago I found out about Chromium-legacy. The description says it's equivalent to current upstream versions of Chromium except for some limitations caused by older OS versions. Viewing DRM-protected content (e.g. Netflix) requires separately installing the Widevine library.
