ok NCD, which one of you did this?

I tend to agree. I think there's little need as a developer to go that extra mile for accurate browser detection without UA unless it's for fingerprinting. Most feature sets are supported and where it isn't you have a polyfil or whatever shim to make it work. So in the case of fingerprinting you try not to rely fully on anything the user can alter easily.

Browser detection is rarely done through User Agent lookup anymore. Nowadays we determine browser through feature detection.

I'm pro-Biden. What a pathetic attempt to shame.

I don't think the average person understands how advanced bots have become at bypassing captchas now. Users will see this and be upset, and understandably so, but I'm telling you there is a big problem right now and devs are having trouble keeping up.
