User-Agent issues

With the current Windows version (103.0.5250.0 64 bit) some issues with default user-agent leads to blocking on some sites, medium.com for instance.
The block is performed by Cloudflare firewall. Changing user-agent to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/105.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/105.0.1343.33" (Edge default value) solves the problem.
Maybe devs should pay attention on it in future updates.

Just wanted to say thanks.
I am still running on v88 and this seems to have helped a lot :p

I have begun experiencing new issues with the Cloudflare firewall. It seems they don't like the Edge portion of the agent string when using Iron anymore. This is a new issue that's popped up some time after October 2024.
A modified version of the default Iron string works fine:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/133.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
where the Iron tag is removed, because it breaks compatibility with other websites (Yahoo Mail tested).

Most importantly, either modify your User-Agent to a more recognized User-Agent, like the default Edge string, to effectively bypass these restrictions, or consider updating regularly.

Can you elaborate on how to use user agents? This is important and I would like to know more.
