A while ago on the #OrangeSite I read a comment by someone claiming that #GDPR #fines for using #GoogleFonts were unconscionable because browsers are #UserAgents and companies shouldn't be fined for what they do.

This is of course incredulous victim blaming, but it does bump up against an uncomfortable fact: the term "user agent" as applied to browsers is at best useful fiction.

A real user agent would not have a mechanism to load arbitrary untrusted code into itself or contact third parties.
