> Actual browsers decide to now just send the always accepted UA on any system to ensure the best experience

Case in point. An issue with Vivaldi browser was reported at the beginning of the year where google search/gmail/etc would show broken pages with links and buttons not working:

> Search for example shows the carriage, but does not accept user input.

> Gmail opens the page, but does not respond to any clicks to open emails.

> Image search doesn't show the images and pretends it's stuck "loading"

IIRC the issue was resolved on Vivaldi's side by changing UA to Chrome's for google services.
