Comment:
Wait... Huh? Why is this marked as "implemented"? The feature requested is
*NOT* implemented. If you think that this is a BAD idea and that you
prefer to set a common user agent string, then you should mark the feature
as "will not implement".
Current implementation: Fixed, manually updated UA string to matches the
current ESR.
Proposed implementation: Dynamically selected UA string from a list for
each page load.
These are not the same feature in the slightest. Please re-read the issue.
If you think that the issue is a bad idea, mark the issue as "will not
implement" and preferably explain briefly why you think that the current
implementation provides more privacy than a randomly selected, dynamically
changing UA string.
