caption: Freeze User-Agent string major version at 99
default: 0
deprecated: true
desc: |-
This policy controls whether the User-Agent string major
version should be frozen at 99.
The User-Agent request header lets websites identify the application,
operating system, vendor, and/or version of the requesting user agent.
Some websites make assumptions about how this header is formatted and may
encounter issues with version strings that include three digits in the
major position (e.g. 100.0.0.0).
Setting the policy to 'Default' or leaving it unset will default to
browser settings for the User-Agent string major version.
If set to 'ForceDisabled', the User-Agent string will not freeze the
major version.
If set to 'ForceEnabled', the User-Agent string will always report the
major version as 99 and include the browser's major version in the minor
position. For example, browser version 101.0.0.0 would send a User-Agent
request header that reports version 99.101.0.0.
This policy is temporary and will be deprecated in the future. Note that
if this policy and
<ph name="USER_AGENT_REDUCTION_POLICY_NAME">User-Agent Reduction</ph> are
both enabled, the User-Agent version string will always be 99.0.0.0.
