Description

Client hint data should be shown in Special:CheckUser's 'Get users' mode. An example of these results is shown below.

The format of the 'Get users' results needs UX improvements. T69811 tracks this, but progress on that has been slow. To show client hint data, just adding a new list underneath the user agents is likely to make the results list more confusing.

In T345764 the design for the Client Hints display was decided on and is shown below:

Acceptance criteria

Client Hints data is displayed in Special:CheckUser 'Get users'

Suggested QA steps:

Install CheckUser
Create a new account and note the username you used for future steps
Make at least two edits using Google Chrome and one using Edge on this new account
Login to an account with the checkuser right
Load Special:CheckUser, put the username you used in step 2, select 'Get IP Addresses' check subtype, and then run a check.
Click on the IP address shown in the results list
On this new Special:CheckUser tab, select the check type of 'Get users' and then run the check

Expected behaviour to verify the acceptance criteron: Ensure that the user created in step 2 appears in the results list for the second check and that Client Hints data containing "Brand: Google Chrome" appears above the Client Hints data containing "Brand: Edge". The output should look similar to the second design (from the top) in F37657179.

@Dreamy_Jazz the user created in step 2 appears in the results list and client Hints data containing "Brand: Google Chrome" appears above the Client Hints data containing "Brand: Edge". I will move this to Done. Thanks for all your work!
