    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.

        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 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%!

      If you use the app, then probably not. I don’t know if they would count browser usage anyway.
