Am I the only one that thinks that librewolf on Linux should have a generic Linux user agent? (lemmy.zip)

Linux has now hit 3% according to sat counter. It isn't has obscure as it was in the past and I think it is a lot less of a privacy risk.

I also know a significant number of Linux users who use librewolf. This means that the user share might be a bit higher

What do you mean by this? It already reports Linux in the navigator UA, are you talking about the HTTP header? If so, I agree with you and I'm hoping to see a change as it is overkill (although there are reasons against namely passive fping protection in some rare cases).

It causes breakage too, ideally reporting this could influence a change in RFP but there are some blocking issues (things to discuss) at the moment and it is low priority. We could anticipate the change with a patch but we haven't thought about this yet as we are usually against changing RFP.
