Title:
Buggy WhatsApp misdetects Chromium with Ubuntu's patched useragent
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Starting about a week ago, https://web.whatsapp.com stopped working
with Ubuntu's Chromium, it suggests to install Google Chrome.
If change useragent from
userAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/70.0.3538.110 Chrome/70.0.3538.110 Safari/537.36
to
userAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.110 Safari/537.36
or rebuild chromium-browser without chromium_useragent.patch, than
this piece of buggy shit starts to work with Chromium
I tried to reach WhatsApp monkeys by writing to
[email protected], but did not get an answer from
human.
Sorry, but I hate WhatsApp.
I've made this bug just to inform you about the problems that the
patched useragent may cause and to help other people solve the
problem.
