Summary

We propose extending the User-Agent Reduction Deprecation origin trial,
which allows developers to continue to receive the full User-Agent string.
We decided to extend the experiment based on ecosystem feedback and a bug
that was identified in the implementation of the origin trial
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1feIxK9S7oNgT2oGGebbxE9X0O-4wTKcsP_gRaY99tq4>
for user agent reduction and user agent reduction deprecation.  We are
planning to extend the end date from March 23, 2023 (M112) to August 8,
2023 (M115). We are in the process of resolving the bug and the information
can be found here <https://crbug.com/1446805>.

Motivation

We received feedback
<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1446908> from the
ecosystem that it would be helpful to extend the origin trial. The
User-Agent Reduction for Phase 6 just reached 100%
<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/zVOEHwgyyu4/m/4qpVZXO8AgAJ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>
on May 12th and this gives additional time to evaluate the impact of those
changes. In addition, this bug may have impacted the ability of developers
to prepare their sites for the end of the Deprecation Trial, and so
extending the Deprecation Trial to fix the bug in M115 ensures additional
ecosystem support.

Risks

The risks are minimal here; this just extends the ability to send the
legacy User-Agent header for 3 additional milestones.

Debuggability

DevTools supports debugging HTTP headers, so no special tooling is needed.

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

Tests will be added once the bug is resolved to verify.
