Yes, I totally agree that it is not an Ubuntu problem and should not be fixed... But maybe someone will come here by this bug report. Or maybe someone has an idea how to reach WhatsApp developers.
Custom useragent can be set without extensions via developer tools in "Network", see attached screenshot. Another solution is --useagent CLI, I will try to make a script to not rebuild the ubuntu package in my PPA just to allow our managers to work with WhatsApp web. I don't trust 3rd party extensions. ** Attachment added: "Change useragent in Chromium without extensions" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1808853/+attachment/5223480/+files/DeepinScreenshot_Desktop_20181207114157.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808853 Title: Buggy WhatsApp misdetects Chromium with Ubuntu's patched useragent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1808853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
