Paste Raw

Hi,
With regards to the recent announcement by Google.
https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-to-phase-out-user-agent-strings-in-chrome/

Google to phase out user-agent strings in Chrome Chrome will move to a new technology called Client Hints, part of the newer Privacy Sandbox project.

Current

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)
            AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
            Chrome/79.0.3945.117 Safari/537.36

NEW

Sec-CH-UA: "Chrome 79.0.3945.117"
Sec-CH-Platform: "Windows 10"
Sec-CH-Arch: "AMD64"
Sec-CH-Mobile: 0

I wonder if it will be added to the Roadmap of this project for future updates.

Thank you @kevincobain2000 for mentioning what I was about to mention here. I am essentially ready to devote a bit of time into make the necessary changes to get this working. I don't have much time today, but I can be available this weekend to fork, change and do a pull request. If someone else is already working on it, I won't waste my time, but feel free to use me to get this fixed.
