All UA strings these days are ridiculous jokes and Chrome just takes
this to the next level.

I would propose that a proper UA-string should look like this

  <engine>-<version>[/<browser>-<version>]

<better world>
In real life it could be even more simple and still sufficient for
~98.2% of all applications if all UA-Strings would look like this:

  internetexploder-[no|yes: <version>]

</better world>

Someone *must* do the first step out of this nonsense.
