The story is told well by this user agent string:

   Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6)
     AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
     Chrome/79.0.3945.117 Safari/537.36 Edg/79.0.309.65
"Edg"* , like Chrome, like Safari/AppleWebKit, like KHTML, like Gecko, like Mozilla 5.0.

My lord, this ridiculous header is f'ed (and I don't mean this string, just this entire ridiculous slow-motion trainwreck that requires every browser to pretend to be every browser that ever came before).

\* presuming that spelling means 'please don't lock me out like Edge' -- modern Chromium Opera identifies as OPR, similarly
