User reviews

Sends only the DPR (device pixel ratio) hint, which is deprecated, and none of the other client hints, such as user-agent hints or network hints. Additionally, causes cross-origin CORS errors on subdomains (which aren't actually cross-origin).

Helpful for checking out Client Hints concept. Seems to work fine for me

It doesn't work, so not sure why it is posted as an extension?
