Oh my god can we please kill the user agent string already? Every time any new combination of browser/os/platform is created it claims that it's as some other user agent from an established browser because sites are lazy and abuse user agent string to determine capability. Meaning they have long lost all meaning and we should just dump them.

Browser makers tried to do that by providing feature detection, but the weight of legacy code and developers already used to using the user agent strings has made killing it impossible.
Edit: As pointed out in another comment here, it seems like Google is killing it (or planning to). [1]
