Mozilla is used in the user agent string of all major browsers for historical reasons, but not necessarily headless ones or so on.

    There's some sites[1] that can print your user agent for you. Try it in a few different browsers and you will be surprised. They're honestly unhinged.. I have no idea why we still use this header in 2025!
