Use Google Chrome user agent for anti-finerprinting #155

Currently, the user agent immediately gives away that you're using Iridium. Wouldn't using Chrome's user agent like Ungoogled Chromium be better for protection against fingerprinting?

This is a good suggestion, but remember the user agent is only a small part to make a finger print and will not help to avoiding resulting in a unique fingerprint.

There are a number of extensions that will spoof to the most common. Both google and mozilla are acting against User Privacy now.
