Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Partial freezing of the User-Agent string (#467)

I fail to see how this would significantly impact privacy or fingerprinting since Client Hints will enable fingerprinting equivalent or even deeper than what User-Agent currently provides.  However, I _can_ easily see how this would significantly strengthen the monoculture that Chrome / the Blink engine enjoys on the modern Web at the expensive of all other browsers/engines.  I think that this would be an extremely negative change for user choice and diversity.
