   Wouldn't it be nice if `User-Agent` was a (set of) 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.

   It's not just banks. Google Maps will refuse to work if you're running OS X Lion, even if you're using a fully up-to-date version of Chromium[1] which is just as capable as any other Chromium-based browser on any other operating system.

   Google Maps work perfectly on Lion if you fake the user agent, because of course it does, it's a web app and the underlying OS is irrelevant.
