I think everyone agrees that the 'Chromium/<version>' part is the main problem. The snap also adds 'snap', which is an additional problem, but only removing 'snap' wouldn't help.
The deb version adds 'Ubuntu' in the OS part, which the snap does not. I'm unsure if that is much of a problem. Firefox on Ubuntu also adds 'Ubuntu' after 'X11', and that doesn't seem to break many things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868117 Title: [snap] Adapt chromium user agent to avoid "not supported browser" Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Currently some websites like netflix.com and web.whatsapp.com does not recognize chromium Ubuntu as chrome because of the different user agent.
