passing the market share of windows
…well windows 7 at least.
LINE GO UP! ENDORPHINS GO BRRRRRRRRR!
i use a windows 10 agent string in my browser in all of my linux rigs and i wonder if it's hurting stats like these.
Stats like this one, but not this one specifically.
but i get cheaper stuff online if it looks like my rig is old and generic; i think i need to get a user agent string toggle browser plugin.
Out of curiosity, why? I have Linux in it and the last time any website complained about “incompatibility” must have been at least 5 years ago. Nowadays i think such workarounds are completely unnecessary.
i do it for cheaper prices when websites do server side tracking. i've noticed by accident a few years back that using agent strings for the oldest active microsoft release has a small impact that add up on expensive things like air line tickets.
oh right okay, i forgot that this is a thing. its noticeable on hotel rooms as well with mobile vs. desktop prices for examples. thanks for the answer.
Now I need to know which one is cheaper! Please tell us your tricks.
oh hell, i have to look myself. have not booked a room in over a year. It was on some site similar to booking.com for vacation rentals in Germany. And i noticed mobile was cheaper by sometimes 5%!
LibreWolf (for example, among other security-conscious software packages) does it by default to reduce enabling of fingerprinting. The information is misused far more often than it is put to any of the user's interests.
If you use the app, then probably not. I don't know if they would count browser usage anyway.
You would think so..
