Bug Description
Not sure whether this has been already reported:
---
Google Drive is rendered in a weird way, see attached file.
Google Meet is telling me "Meet doesn't work on your browser"
What steps will reproduce the problem?
* Update chromium with `snap refresh chromium` from 110.0.5481.100 to 110.0.5481.177
* Open Google Drive/Google Meet
What happens instead?
* No proposals for files during search in Google Drive
* Old-fashioned look & feel (See screenshot)
* Google Meet is telling me: "Meet doesn't work on your browser"

This is because of https:/ /git.launchpad. net/~chromium- team/chromium- browser/ +git/snap- from-source/ commit/ ?h=stable& id=42ed9c6a14ae 9631d0a200dff16 74e60560a3d28, which inserted "Ubuntu; " inside the "X11; Linux" part of the User-Agent that lots of services sniff.
