They've got some busted UA sniffing that we should try to fix.

The script where the sniffing is located is actually hosted here:

https://img.weblogssl.com/LPbackend/prod/v2/js/postpage-fddd869d.js

I wonder what kind of service it is, I can find more instances of it:

https://github.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.weblogssl.com%2FLPbackend%2Fprod%2Fv2%2Fjs%2Fpostpage&type=Code

Seems like it's versioned too.

Couple of options here:

UA override, or https://github.com/mozilla/webcompat-addon/blob/master/src/lib/custom_functions.js

Looking more closely at this, it seems like most of the instances are just scraped HTML. Doesn't seem as dramatic as I thought.

And a UA override is enough to fix this, and much simpler.
