99% of sites only need to know your screen aspect ratio and maybe available input devices, can't think of a good reason to share anything else

Knowing OS is useful for download links.

I’d be down for an ask to allow that info. Sort of like how sites request access to cam and mic.

Before Windows 10, NVidia and others had this button Detect what thing suits me best on their websites. Now many of them just look it up in one's fingerprint without asking.
