Bug Description

Using epiphany-browser 42.4 from ubuntu package, the browser sends the following user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.0 Safari/605.1.15

This results is some websites sending their mobile version (Google search, Wikipedia, for example).

However, using the flatpak version (still 42.4), the browser send the following user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.0 Safari/605.1.15

This results in the same websties (Google search, Wikipedia) sending their desktop version.
