I believe the user agent with my pending fix will be

--------
Websites may still misidentify it as Safari.

I am using a patch from Fedora. They do the same thing we do except with "Fedora" instead of "Ubuntu".

This is also being backported to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 17.10 when we do future webkit2gtk security and feature updates.
