Description

See http://www.microsoftproductreviews.com/windows-phone/microsoft-fakes-user-agent-ie11-wp8-1-gdr1-improve-mobile-web-browsing-experience/ looks like Microsoft pretends IE11 runs on Android to get better rendering in some cases;-O

While it may help the UI our OS aspect can be badly affected by such a trick.
