Welcome back!  Please don't use our lists to spread 
misinformation.  Especially such that might drive people away from 
free(er) browsers, even though that's not your intention.

If you believe that adopting Firefox's User Agent string 
constitutes a trademark violation, consider that of their most 
notorious competitor:

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36
  (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36

At least 5 different trademarks with Mozilla's at the very front! 
And... totally fine.

(I mean, technically it's a revolting abomination that can't meet 
its demise[0] soon enough, but it's legally quite 
uncontroversial. :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
