Change Details

We should check if the situation in the parent task is already covered by the version of uaparser we currently hold, but by the time it comes (2021) we should update uaparser anyway.

Quantify the loss of entropy (uniqueness) in the user agent (and derivative) dimension(s). Pipelines that we need to check: * geoeditors (using user agent to compute a transient fingerprint) * bot traffic classification (automata) and removal * ua parser precision for webrequest, event logging, etc. * browser stats * virtual pageviews cc #research to raise awareness of entropy loss here cc #product-analytics for awareness as well
