JxBrowser 8.4.0

User-Agent Client Hints API

In this version you can now set the User-Agent Client Hints data that will be sent to the server when the server requests it.

The following example demonstrates how to set the User-Agent Client Hints data:

Java
browser.userAgentData(
        UserAgentData.newBuilder()
                .addBrand(UserAgentBrand.create("Safari", "123.45.6.7"))
                .addBrand(UserAgentBrand.create("Edge", "123.45.6.7"))
                .fullVersion("123.45.6.7-beta")
                .platform("Windows")
                .platformVersion("11")
                .architecture("x86_64")
                .bitness("64")
                .wow64(true)
                .build());

Parsing the User-Agent string has historically been the way to get information about the user’s browser or device. A typical user agent string looks like the following example, identifying Chrome 92 on Windows:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/92.0.4515.107 Safari/537.36

User agent Client Hints aims to provide this information in a more privacy-preserving way by enforcing a model where the server requests a set of information. The browser decides what to return. This approach means that a user-agent could provide settings that allow a user to hide some of the information that could fingerprint them from such requests.
