Initially we removed the "Android" token from the UA string on b2g:
- pros : this is the right thing to do.
- cons : some sites, including prominent ones, are sending us wap-era
mobile content. That makes the user experience crappy.
This change was backed out, which means that we now get nice mobile
content, but claiming to be android is far from ideal. For instance,
some site offer to install their android app.
This bug is an attempt at providing a pragmatic solution, to have nice
content while we sort out the issue with broken sites (we have direct
channels to talk with most of them). I don't expect the list to be huge,
so maintaining a server side list may be overkill.
