Bug Description

web.whatsapp.com rejects the chromium snap browser, possibly based on the user agent string. My current user agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) snap Chromium/83.0.4103.116 Chrome/83.0.4103.116 Safari/537.36". There used to be issues like this in the past, but they were resolved and whatsapp used to work well in chromium on bionic (regular deb version, not the snap).
