User agent helpful solution

[Universalizer]

Bromite is innocent, it might be related to upstream Chromium.

On sdk29 is absolutely fine,

but can't guarantee for those using sdk30 (Android 11 and above) uptil 33, may try following :-

Type "chrome://flags/" in address bar (or omnibox), and click go,

Experiments,

#durable-client-hints-cache, Set to disabled,

#reduce-user-agent, Set to enabled,

#reduce-user-agent-minor-version,
Set to enabled,

#reduce-user-agent-platform-oscpu,
Set to enabled,

#reduce-accept-language, Set to enabled,

Whether in Bromite Settings > User Agent > Customize User agent in the text field :- 1) mobile or 2) desktop mode, type what you want see.

cross-verify it by, that it works in some third party sites, https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent/

I'm confused with one bromite setting that is under 'privacy and security' > enable http refer header whether on or off.

Previously some had asked about it in Bromite discussion, Even I'm waiting for what to do. On or Off ?

Discussion #2406
If it is "On by default ; on installation or update", than that's okay, just need confirmation from Bromite development team.

kindly check (any spelling) for Line number 61 to 63 of 8dcef19

Probably it has nothing to do with user agent.

Highlight Line 61, 62 and 63.

enableFeferrerPref (any spelling correction, if require) ?

enableReferrerPref (might be correct).

Originally Line 61 to 63:-

• ChromeSwitchPreference enableFeferrerPref = findPreference(PREF_ENABLE_REFERRERS);
• enableFeferrerPref.setChecked(prefService.getBoolean(Pref.ENABLE_REFERRERS));
• enableFeferrerPref.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(this);

Suggesting:-

• ChromeSwitchPreference enableReferrerPref = findPreference(PREF_ENABLE_REFERRERS);
• enableReferrerPref.setChecked(prefService.getBoolean(Pref.ENABLE_REFERRERS));
• enableReferrerPref.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(this);

Might be helpful to Bromite Developing Team.
Thanks to the team.

Don't forget to restart the bromite browser twice,

cross-verify it by, that it works

In address bar typing following
chrome://version/
Check User Agent

Hopefully helpful to Bromite users community.

Just to query, as Bromite's user can change and override user agent,

Same way, can we override HTTP_ACCEPT HEADERS ?,

just a certain query 1) will it make any essential sense ? 'WORTHY' for privacy aspect ?, 2) if than, it can be possible ? 3) will it enhance Bromite ?

Example:
https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

HTTP_ACCEPT HEADERS

text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,/;q=#️⃣⭕#️⃣ gzip, deflate, br en-US

Bits of identifying information: #️⃣⭕#️⃣#️⃣
One in x browsers have this value: #️⃣#️⃣#️⃣⭕#️⃣#️⃣

text field for both mode :- 1) mobile, 2) desktop mode,

type what you want❓, something "non-unique especially mostly common used cases in desktop, than answer is */* ( ✳/✳ just highlighting for understanding as Asterisk/Asterisk)" this indicates also additional means for GLOBAL Settings for handling and supporting ; all known or any file extension type. Especially to act as ; it is in desktop mode. the more common values (less unique) = more better for privacy browser also.

Myself knowing that ; for this 'new discussion' could use topic as question and answers, but don't want to overload discussion section, unless it's reliable.

Thank you for this excellent browser @csagan5

@csagan5 and @uazo, Sorry to bother you again,

Another Topic Tracking query parameter :-

The browsers remove URL parameters that can track you?

For this specific case matter "Bromite filters to include few filters" to be added as soon as possible, as follows :-

Filter is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry/master/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt
