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

Sites sending your browser special content can be a desired feature sometimes, for example, Emby transcodes the [AC3 audio](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/codec-support.html#audio-compatibilityhttpsenwikipediaorgwikicomparisonofvideocontainerformatsaudiocodingformatssupport-wikipedias-audio-codec-tables) for Firefox which is ultimately broken when streamed if you fake the UA string to appear as Chrome (personal experience). If any of the above proposals can solve such cases with e.g. an opt-in feature to "unfreeze" the UA string for better compatibility on a user-edited whitelist of sites that are not yet ported to the new method(s), I'm all in for better privacy.
