Welcome back! Please don't use our lists to spread misinformation. Especially such that might drive people away from free(er) browsers, even though that's not your intention.

If you believe that adopting Firefox's User Agent string constitutes a trademark violation, consider that of their most notorious competitor:

 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36
 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36

At least 5 different trademarks with Mozilla's at the very front! And... totally fine.

(I mean, technically it's a revolting abomination that can't meet its demise[0] soon enough, but it's legally quite uncontroversial. :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
