## Background
There are some scenarios where you need to perform browser-like requests, meaning you need to use an HTTP `user-agent` as much accurate as possible with the real world™️.
You can find many list of browser user agents on the Internet, but they are outdated or quickly unmaintained.
This list is created collecting user agent from [microlink.io](https://microlink.io) products, that receives [+300M requests every month](https://analytics.microlink.io/).
## Install
```bash
$ npm install top-user-agents --save
```
## Usage
```js
const uniqueRandomArray = require('unique-random-array')
const userAgents = require('top-user-agents')
const randomUserAgent = uniqueRandomArray(userAgents)
console.log(randomUserAgent())
// => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.130 Safari/537.36'
```
You can also `require('top-user-agents/mobile')` or `require('top-user-agents/desktop')` to get the list based on the device.
## About Privacy
The information exposed to the user-agent only relies on coarse details.
In practice, anyone can put whatever they want in the user-agent string, and send it to the web server.
Because that, The user-agent cannot be sufficient condition to identify or reproduce the original request.
