Bug Description

On certain sites Aquaris M10 browser's user agent string is being recognized as outdated. The most notable example is Google, it shows user the old interface. The other example discovered by my girlfriend is vinted.com which is inaccessible as a result.
Problem occurs through many other sites.

Aquaris M10 browser's user agent string is:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Ubuntu 14.04) AppleWebKit/537.36 Chromium/35.0.1870.2 Safari/537.36"

While normal Desktop Chromium user agent is:
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/50.0.2661.102 Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36"

So M10's might look outdated.

The device is running the latest (OTA-10.1) and webbrowser-app ver. 0.23+15.04.20160322-0ubuntu1
