I was wondering. Isn't the page rendered on mobile and desktop based on user-agents? How would that work now?

#13As usual, this will fuck up the users, and not the techy nerds making such decisions, but the average joe because things on the internet will be broken for them.
This kinda reminded me of the late 00's. It was quite common that the odd government or enterprise website was IE6 only.
All hail the new IE6.

I thought it used Javascript to detect screen size. At least it should react to resize events and if the dimensions are something that align with mobile, it should switch to mobile mode.

This solution very specifically places the burden on "techy nerds" and not users, so I'm not sure where you're coming from.

>While removing the User-Agent completely was deemed problematic, as many sites still rely on them, Chrome will no longer update the browser version and will only include a unified version of the OS data.

This last year I've been noticing things breaking on the Internet for me here and there. I'm a Firefox user. This really wasn't the case in most of the past decade.

I use Safari with no plugins. Even Disney World has a broken website for buying tickets for me. The web is breaking because it's gotten way too complex and the fight against trackers is leading to random failures of things that used to work.
