Intentionally misrepresenting the situation to get a better deal is called fraud.



UA strings aren't bound to any legal requirements, as far as I know. So how is it fraud if one party has no reasonable expectation of any particular representation of the situation in the first place?


Wellllll, it would be reasonable to expect that 99.99% of people wouldn't change their UA.


Name me one desktop browser which uses a mobile UA string during normal operation.
