Not really no. If the web browser isn't sending the information, then take that up with your browser... it's the one that has the information and is dropping it.

Then again, I should point out that I'm not seeing this behavior, so this may be much ado about nothing.

Yeah but you can bet your ass Google knows it's breaking every browser out there. If they wanted to make a change this big, they should have contacted the 4 major browser vendors at least 1 year in advance to give them the opportunity to implement this. It's fucking bullshit.

Do you honestly believe that people keep their browsers up to date? Do you know how old IE 6 is?

No, I don't believe that. Did I say that?

You seem to believe that a notification to browser makers a year ago somehow would have solved this.

Huh? They are neither breaking browsers nor are they doing anything beyond reportedly testing this change.
