Firefox 126 on Android has added "Linux" to the HTTP User-Agent String... Adding Linux finally to the Android User-Agent string has fixed some website compatibility issues plaguing Firefox for Android.

Are there still sites that rely on useragents, other than auto-selecting a package to download?

Google shows you a completely different search experience if you're using Chrome over any other mobile browser.

Speed test.net will nag you to download the app and only do the download test.
