Apps on unity8 run with qtubuntu, and there is code in the browser that assumes that qtubuntu == mobile (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Web/plugin.cpp#L127).
Until now this was a decent approximation, but not any longer.

Note that oxide doesn’t do a much better job at it, because it assumes
that running on an android kernel + egl means mobile:
