Chromium user agent should only provide generic information (Android, ideally without a version and Phone vs. Tablet via Mobile)

An attempt should be made to get this changed upstream. There's little reason to leak the specific device type and there's even less reason to provide the build id. The very generic version (7.1.1) is a more legitimately useful thing to have and isn't nearly as harmful.

I doubt that it will reach upstream, but indeed a nice security enhancement.

How common is just the generic version? If it's not very common, it itself would still be a fairly good identifier.

That's why it needs to be done upstream. It always has device information right now.

So are you interested in contributing changes upstream and convincing them to change this? It isn't going to happen if everyone only sits around complaining about it.

I am not expecting someone will do this tommorow and deliver next week. Just my voice that it is worth to be prioritezed. Who will fix it or when, I do not care. It is always good to have some feedback from the other people.
