  Description     : Library to simulate browser user-agent strings

  This library provides a set of tools to simulate browser user-agent strings
  across different platforms and devices. It offers a pre-downloaded and
  processed database of a wide range of browser agents, allowing users to
  retrieve random or specified user-agent strings without an active internet
  connection. The data includes various attributes such as browser type,
  version, operating system, and device brand. This facilitates applications
  that require user-agent customization or testing by mimicking different
  browser environments for web interactions.

This is a dependency of open-webui (https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui),
a web UI to LLMs like Ollama, and the OpenAI API.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
