Extensions like "agent spoofer" allow you to customize the details of what your browser reports to the web page.

Personally on my home pc, I'm using a galaxy s21 with the netscape browser

I find the use of having Firefox pretending to be Netscape like using your parent's ID to buy liquor underage. Too funny!
