Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

navigator.userAgent was frozen in Chrome 101 and replaced with the Client Hints API (navigator.userAgentData.)

Describe the solution you'd like

Since 2022, classifications should use the Client Hints API to get detailed information about Chrome and Edge. Safari and Firefox also have user-agent reduction, but unfortunately don't support the Client Hints API.

Additional context

• User Agent Reduction in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.
• What is User-Agent Reduction?
• Should we rely on browser detection?

[eatyourgreens]

It’s entirely possible that the reduced user-agent is fine for classification purposes, in which case ignore this issue.
