        Which useragent uses default browser and which third-party browsers use?
        Do sites think that I'm visiting in with Linux Mobile or do they think it's Android OS?

        Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
        I have too many devices...

            Just type "what is my user agent" into Google, it'll tell you as well.

            Most will think you're running Android because they're either lazy, incompetent, or ignorant.

            The user agent contains something like "Linux Ubuntu like Android". Devs just do a quick check, see that it contains "Android" and assume that's what's running.

              That's actually quite a problem for me. I'm using a web-based audiobook store, and while it works on my PC with Firefox, it refuses to work on my Volla phone. On the Volla phone, the website refuses to let me use the web-based player and tells me to get the Android App.

              There is this some "desktop mode" setting in the Morph browser, but I think that didn't even help.

              Googeling for the issue, I find various morph-browser github issues relating to the user agent setting. But that was never rolled out?

              https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/324
              https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/pull/368

              Does any of the alternate browsers in the Open Store help here?

                @Dave try to use sapot browser where you can set a custom user agent. Maybe it will work.
