Description Michael Catanzaro 2017-01-22 09:06:11 PST 
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...?
