Out of curiosity, why? I have Linux in it and the last time any website complained about “incompatibility” must have been at least 5 years ago. Nowadays i think such workarounds are completely unnecessary.

i do it for cheaper prices when websites do server side tracking. i've noticed by accident a few years back that using agent strings for the oldest active microsoft release has a small impact that add up on expensive things like air line tickets.

oh right okay, i forgot that this is a thing. its noticeable on hotel rooms as well with mobile vs. desktop prices for examples. thanks for the answer.

Now I need to know which one is cheaper! Please tell us your tricks.

oh hell, i have to look myself. have not booked a room in over a year. It was on some site similar to booking.com for vacation rentals in Germany. And i noticed mobile was cheaper by sometimes 5%!
