headers present in fake-useragent are pretty old. Do we really want to use it?

And why are we using a random UserAgent? Using a specific browser header like firefox/chrome would be much better.
On that note, why do we even need to generate a user-agent. Why not just hardcode the latest chrome header?

@frextrite I tried using a random user agent since some websites block the user if it makes many requests but I Googled more to find out that it would be useless unless IP addresses are rotated too. So in this case your solution suits better.
