Strange Version Number in vivaldi://about/
-
Vivaldi reports a strange version number in the user-agent line when I check the "about" page. Am I the only one?

@jkfloris This is intentional. It is to prevent websites that think 1.16 is smaller than 1.9 from blocking or reporting Vivaldi as obsolete. The broser "spoofs" itself as being a version number that websites will accept as "newer" than 1.9.
