Because the web is terrible, some websites want to use the user agent to test if we are WebKitGTK+....

We'll continue to send quirk user agents to any website that degrades functionality based on user agent.

Also Carlos Lopez, why is this desired...? It's really not to degrade functionality...?

This was probably a bad idea. Let's not.
