            Bug ID: 142074
           Summary: Consider allowing vendor branding in the default user
                    agent
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at igalia.com

For Fedora we are adding our branding to the default WebKitGTK+ user agent. Since this in non-intrusive and might be useful for other distributors, I will post the patch here. If you don't want it then please close this bug.

We are going to try this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Fedora; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/601.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Safari/601.1

If removing X11 causes problems, then we'll do this:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/601.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Safari/601.1

We're not using Epiphany's branding.conf file so that the change affects other browsers and so that we can get it in the parenthetical at the start of the user agent rather than at the end (because that's where we put it in Firefox).
