Update User-Agent String (web_agent_string) to avoid tripping online WAFs, resulting in more websites being accessible

[ScholliYT]

What exactly do you mean by "update"?
Increase the version numbers of the Browsers mentioned in the default string?

Thanks for your swift response!

The way I do it is: I download the latest Google Chrome browser, and then use one of many online services to get User-Agent String.

At the time of writing this comment, it is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Chrome 60 (whose User-Agent string is used) came out in 2017, so I believe it may trip trip WAFs or silent captcha (e.g., Google reCaptcha v3). But user-agent isn't the only thing that can trip them (bad IP addresses also can, and probably Github Actions IP addresses are already blacklisted at places). But browsers update often, and there's no need to update User-Agent string every time the browser updates, but it's a good practice to do it maybe once at least half a decade.
