Websites frequently broken and complain that the browser is out of date

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

Using chromium version 135* and extension version 4.3.1 ... all the random user agents being generated for me currently are from chrome 132* to 134*. Many websites are therefore blocking access because my browser is 'out of date'.

I am using a restricted pool of user agents identifying as Chrome on varying platforms, but the usera gent pool being so out of date is breaking websites more and more frequently. I also noticed when chromium 133 was the stable version, that sometimes the pool of chrome browser versions generated by the extension was actually ahead (beta versions), and that this would sometimes also cause the same issue.

The extension therefore really only works properly for me when the browser versions being reported are currently relevant - not beta versions and certainly not deprecated versions.

A very helpful option would be to restrict the pool to current browser versions only and obfuscate everything else. Otherwise, manual intervention is required and then, you have to either just disable the extension, or you are manually setting non random fake agents via the custom list option which makes the whole 'random' premise of this extension a bit redundant.

thanks!

It happened to me too sometimes, but not very often. But it's true, if I go to whatsmybrowser i can clearly see that my browser version is more or less ten versions old. This will inevitably raise more compatibility issues in the near future.
Also before adding a Browser Detection Block, whatsmybrowser and other websites knew my user agent where fake.
So changing user agent isn't enough and must be used in combination with other privacy techniques. This issue should be adressed IMO since the whole reason to spoof user agent is to get more privacy and neutral results eluding websites identification.
