Device Characteristics
How does it work?
This criterion lets you match based on the settings of a device or browser making the request. This match derives the characteristics from the User-Agent header.
If you are using the Edge Device Characterization module, you can apply this match without restrictions. However, you can set a Vary: User-Agent outgoing response header.
