[Android] Remove detailed device information from Android user agent string
See original GitHub issueExciting news: we have enough users on Android that it probably makes sense to use a Brave user-agent string! Unlike the temporary fix in brave/browser-android-tabs#130, we no longer need to fake details (Android version, device, build…) that we don’t want to disclose.
Here’s the new template:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android) like AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.111 Mobile Safari/537.36 Brave
Those Webkit, Chrome, and Safari versions need to stay current — they should match the equivalent Chrome versions. We won’t be presenting a Brave version number because we think that feature-detection should be based on actually detecting features, not divination based on tables of version strings.

Please remove phone model from the user agent string.
This is a big disappointment. If you aren’t going to include a really basic privacy feature in your browser like user agents that don’t leak the phone model, you need to change all your marketing so its not misleading people into thinking this browser is privacy focused. Maybe this is perpetually in the backlog because Google won’t approve a browser that is actually privacy focused on Android?
