Hi,
Yeah I know but:
- in edge://version/ it's no longer dynamic.
- This: edge://version/ is not a website for Edge to impersonate another browser UA in order to load it better.
- before this update, Edge would show the correct UA on websites. I tested it in many different websites and all of them show the same static UA.
- even if it was for impersonating purposes, why choose Chrome 75, that's like so random, the latest stable version is Chrome 80.
- I don't think it's trying to impersonate, it still says "Edge" but with a wrong version.
- Edge 75 never existed, lol. the first Edge version was 76 or 77.
