Description (last modified by mario)
Reintroduced from Pivotal Tracker iceboxed feature
Background
The user agent header in Kitt/ABB requests contains a distinguishable token Kitt/<Kitt version>/<tabid>. This may be used by adblock detection solutions. In order to prevent detection we want to opt for a more generic user agent.
What to change
Change the ABB user agent from
Mozilla/5.0 (<device>; <device CPU> <iOS version> like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/<webkit version> (KHTML, like Gecko) Kitt/<Kitt version>/<tab-id> Mobile/<iOS build> Safari/<Safari version>
to
Mozilla/5.0 (<device>; <device CPU> <iOS version> like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/<webkit version> (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/<ABB version>/<tab-id> Mobile/<iOS build> Safari/<Safari version>
Remark for testers
You can test the user agent by visiting a site like https://whatsmyuseragent.com/
