[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2017463] Re: chromium 111 and 112 have the wrong architecture in the user agent
Certain websites use the user agent architecture string to determine what download link to show/serve to users on their websites. Having it as x86_64 will cause these websites to give the wrong link. When it comes to the YouTube playback issue, I think fixing this behavior is a bit of a catch-22 situation. YouTube may not acknowledge the issue if it isn't present in an official build. But fixing the user agent will mean that users suffer from poor YouTube playback resolution until YouTube fixes it. If you (as a chromium packager at ubuntu) have any contacts at Google or YouTube that you can reach out to I would appreciate if you could do so for this YouTube issue. It has been ongoing for the past few months now and did affect the chromium 110 release right out of the box when that was the latest package from Ubuntu. My (and others) reaching out hasn't yielded any response. -- 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/2017463 Title: chromium 111 and 112 have the wrong architecture in the user agent Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Status in chromium-browser source package in Bionic: New Bug description: Using chromium browser on ubuntu bionic (the apt version), the wrong user agent is present in chromium 111 and 112.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2017463] Re: chromium 111 and 112 have the wrong architecture in the user agent
** Description changed: Using chromium browser on ubuntu bionic (the apt version), the wrong user agent is present in chromium 111 and 112. When testing the arm64 build, the user agent should contain the string aarch64 however it contains the string x86_64. Many websites use the user agent to provide download links for the correct architecture that the system is running and this incorrect user agent will interfere with that process. I am not aware if i386 and armhf builds are also affected by this or not. This was not an issue in chromium 110 builds, they had the correct user agent.
