I have no emotional attachment to the order, just came up with that one as a 
personal preference.

I am mainly asking for an example to see if my testing method is valid or not. 
When I setup my own webpage that specifically breaks when it detects the UA as 
being non-IE, then I obviusly get a nice diff image. But I found no such 
breakage in top 10000 (!) webpages, which is hard for me to believe, hence I 
need an example of a page that breaks.

Reasoning for change of UA:
1) Decreasing the size of HTTP headers, so that all the headers combined fall 
below various thresholds (e.g. fitting into 1 packet, or fitting below certain 
size for proxies) can improve internet connectivity as a whole, especially when 
not using HTTP/2.

2) Removing things from UA, for all users of a browser, improves users' privacy 
by limiting identifiable fields.
