Hmm I think in general we need a fallback for the non "gecko", "chromium" and
"edge" browsers ?

I think something along the lines:

if (platform == "chromium" && application == "opera")
  application = "opera";
else if (platform == "gecko")
  application = "firefox";
else if (application == "edge")
  application = "edge";
else
  application = "chrome";

Done.

info.platform is hard-coded in the respective builds to "chromium", "gecko" and
"edgehtml". As mentioned before, in the builds for Microsoft Edge, application
is hard-coded as well. If we add further platforms in the future, we are going
to create sub-forums and/or adapt the logic here as needed. IMO, there is no
need to overthink the logic here, for now. In any case falling to the Chrome
sub-forum would be the wrong place to send users of new platforms, anyway.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that we were hardcoding everywhere, I agree.
reverted the "Fallback" patch.
