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

So we seem to agree that preventing problems with unexpected entries is the *only* thing that GREASE solves.

Therefore, the absurd accumulation of complexity and size, and the lies about browser identities, are things that will quickly happen again, as described in detail above – because the proposal has *nothing* in it to stop this and the incentives all remain the same.

Finally, as @mgol said, I can’t see popular browsers start to intentionally lie about their identity for the greater good, especially not Google Chrome lying to Google Search, Google Docs, YouTube, etc. If popular browsers wanted to lie about their identity for the greater good, they could have been doing this already for a long time.
