How to get name of operating system of user and browser in phoenix

there are perfectly valid uses for wanting to check a browser string, namely Capabilities if your browser supports ESM modules, then why would you want me to push an unnecessarily polyfilled pile of bundles to your browser. If your browser supports HTTP/2 why wouldn’t you want me to use it to get you resources as efficiently as possible?

Both of those can fallback without anyone looking at my UA though. http2 can fallback to http1 and js can check if it supports esm modules or not and request different files accordingly.

Who gives a crap if a server knows you’re using chrome and it’s up to date?

It’s not just “I’m on Chrome XY”. I’ve just checked with https://amiunique.org and my UA is in the <0.01% range of known fingerprints. Take a website, which doesn’t operate on a global scale and I might be the only person with that UA.
