It’s time to get rid of user-agent strings that declare anything other than desktop, mobile, or html version.
If I was a Firefox dev I'd start looking into building in user agent spoofing right into the browser.
It already opens Facebook pages in a special isolated tab. They could have apple.com open in it's own special "safari" tab. I wonder if there's anything preventing them from doing that. I guess it could be bad because it would make their market share appear even smaller.

That's was interesting to read.
That article is great! I have it linked on my website next to the text that displays the user agent of the user.
