            Bug ID: 171941
           Summary: Always claim to be Linux x86_64 (except on macOS) and
                    remove user agent quirks for Google
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at igalia.com

Testing indicates that we can probably remove our user agent quirks for Google domains, but only if we always claim to be "Linux x86_64". We should do this anyway (except on macOS). Sending any other operating system (except Windows, which WebKitGTK+ does not support) or architecture in the user agent string is an invitation to breakage, and should only be done with quirks on an as-needed basis. Reporting an accurate architecture here also makes it needlessly-difficult to handle bug reports from BSD users.
