When your browser connects to a website, it includes a User-Agent field in its HTTP header. The contents of the user agent field vary from browser to browser. Each browser has its own, distinctive user agent. Essentially, a user agent is a way for a browser to say “Hi, I’m Mozilla Firefox on Windows” or “Hi, I’m Safari on an iPhone” to a web server.
would it be possible to change the user agent so the orion browser can be detected as safari, chrome or firefox?
While a user agent won’t identify you anywhere near as narrowly as an IP address, you’re still giving up the way you browse. However, you should be advised that there are ways for websites to see beyond the user-agent string and identify your browser. In the case of security, this isn’t foolproof.
