	// WebVersion is the built-in InnerTube version for the WEB client. It was

const DefaultChromeMajor = 149

DefaultChromeMajor is the Chrome major used by the built-in WEB-family profiles. Keep it reasonably current; it does not need to track every release. Current stable versions are published at versionhistory.googleapis.com/v1/chrome/platforms/win/channels/stable/versions. Last updated in June 2026.

Functions

func UserAgent

func UserAgent(major int) string

UserAgent returns a reduced desktop Chrome User-Agent. Zero and invalid values use DefaultChromeMajor. The top-level waxtap.New function rejects invalid values; lower-level packages use this fallback because their constructors do not return errors.

func ValidChromeMajor

func ValidChromeMajor(major int) bool

ValidChromeMajor reports whether major is zero or between 1 and 999. Zero selects DefaultChromeMajor.
