The browser vendors already do. What do you want to change?

Presumably better spoofing, so the websites can't tell from obvious tells like resolution.

Firefox on Android seems pretty good on desktop-mode, though: its resolution seems desktop-like, and sites rarely give me the mobile treatment.

I'd like to see more effective anti-fingerprinting. I know it's just an arms race though.

  • It's almost like one of the leading browser developers is also in the advertising business. (To be clear I completely agree, fingerprinting is evil.)
