Description

[Description of the bug or feature]

In the latest chrome with WindScribe installed in Incognito mode with only Windscibe allowed but NOT enabled the user-agent header is changed to Firefox "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0" -

If in inconito mode with nothing allowed the user agent is reported as expect - blah blah Chrome

uBO doesn't change any headers, nothing to do with uBO.
