Mobile-Detect easily read the correct Uuser Agent #17

The Mobile-Detect github project can bypass user_agent_overrider and show correct information:

This routine get/steal the correct UA: https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect/blob/master/Mobile_Detect.php#L557-L569

I think could be nice an fix/update, because this firefox addon isn´t working very well anymore, but i like him so much to deinstall.

Thanks in advanced,

I still don't understand what your mean, are you reallay enable/active the extension?

semeion commented 8 years ago

That project can get the original User Agent of browser, bypassing what was set with user_agent_overrider.

Why change the UA if it can be easly detected?

muzuiget commented 8 years ago

It doesn't make sense, can you double check it with Firefox DevTool Network panel?

I have solved my problem, you can close this thread, and thank you anyways.
