For me, certain sites will not be accessible with out of date random user agents using this library.

This might just be a limitation of this library, but I thought I would add my 2c in saying that adding an option for most popular user strings to prevent unable to access might be worthwhile.

E.g Taken From here-
https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/explore/software_name/chrome/

Might be of use. I use Chrome a lot so hence this example.

Do sites really block user agents that are too old?

@jamesacampbell They don't actually block users, but they redirect them to a page recommending to upgrade the browser. Here's an example encountered recently:

@symbiotech ok that makes sense.
