navigator.platform is exposed despite Spoof User-Agent #118
Comments
(I'm just a user, but:) I think that the functions should move (including spoof-agent) in an extra extension, because the whole navigator object tells much more about the browser:
and uMatrix is for me "just" for CSP based filtering. Edit: Wording |
That's actually a much better idea. |
No. I will not extend the UA-spoofing feature, but I will add the code to try to find the platform and use it, this seems trivial enough to me. |

…ed-at-the-core UA spoofer The end result of the flawed UA spoofer was to accomplish the OPPOSITE of the intended goal. UA spoofing for privacy purpose turns out to be a whole complicated task on its own, and is best undertaken as a separate dedicated extension -- assuming it is possible at all. In any case, this had no place in a "Privacy" section in uMatrix, this was a bad idea to create this feature in the first place. It's never too late to correct a bad idea, and this is the purpose of this commit.

This happens, even though I have "Spoof User-Agent string" enabled on the Privacy tab in uMatrix options.
I think the platform should also be a separate option, or maybe parsed from this list.
