It's morbidly amusing to see the browser referred to as a "user agent" here.

nothing amusing about it, just a simple statement of fact:

> A user agent is a computer program representing a person, for example, a browser in a Web context.

> Examples include all common web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari

I'm aware of the history of the term. It's not an accurate statement of fact if the browser isn't acting on behalf of or towards the interests of the user.
