I would love an extension that grabs device info such as name and stuff for my small OS project (which i would love you to participate in), which I plan to have “Device Info” as an option in the boot menu.

Thank you for your reply, but what I meant was grabbing the info of the hardware (not the browser) it is using!

What kind of info? My control extension can access some rudimentary information like serial numbers, ram size and such

Cool! Is there any way of converting the serial numbers to device names?
