With Google Chrome and Firefox nearly getting to version 100, early testing has begun for possible issues on parsing three-digit User-Agent strings. A quick tip for most websites is that if the web app has a Java Script Test suite, adding a profile with a browser having 100 for its version number to test if it breaks will determine the likelihood of issues when the update comes about. According to developers from Google, starting from Chrome 96, until Chrome 99, a feature flag will be available to force the User-Agent string to utilize the major version number 100, regardless of the actual version number.
