+ <h3><svg class="header"><use href="../shared_images/disabled_by_default.svg#icon"/></svg> X-Requested-With Header</h3>
+
+ <p>Google programmed Android’s WebView to send an <a href="https://www.stoutner.com/the-x-requested-with-header/">X-Requested-With header</a> with every request.
+ The value of the X-Requested-With header is set to the application ID, which in the case of Privacy Browser is <code>com.stoutner.privacybrowser.standard</code>.
+ This can be disabled using <a href="https://www.stoutner.com/webview-devtools/">WebView's DevTools</a>.</p>
