Comment:
Somewhat related, if we ever enable Sync on Android, then we'll need a
solution for #26982 as well as ensuring the java-based network connections
and the Necko-based networks use the same UAS.
For this bug, I agree Tor Browser should use the standard
resistFingerprinting UAS when the "Desktop Site" is requested. I don't
think many (most?) Tor Browser users really know their requests when using
an Android device are distinguishable from a request coming from a desktop
platform (because the-web), so changing the menu option may be more
confusing. I'm adding antonela because it is something to consider/think
about for the future, especially around use testing.
Tweaking the UAS is an easy fix: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
