Has there been any discussion or research into using the newer technology of Client Hints to replace UserAgents in the webparsers?
While I realize that this is a little early to be worrying about this, especially since the use of UserAgents has not been depreciated and not all browsers support them, the use of Client Hints does seem likely to become ubiquitous.
Would there be any advantage to using them or security problems? I was recently reminded of the weather.com problem we had awhile back solved by the use of the AgentString (https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=35770&start=650#p226769) and this prodded me to ask about this.
