Comment (by Thorin):
This is because HTTP headers and JS navigator objects return different
results (for now): by design: see #28290. Headers are always Windows (why
give away free entropy), but (for now) JS will return one of four OSes due
to breakage.
Since all Mac users, or all Linux users, etc are in the same boat: there's
no extra FPing here. Detecting your OS via other means is trivial anyway.
Close as dupe of #28290 ?
