[1] browser.brands: This value is intended to be taken from the UA client hints API (navigator.userAgentData.brands).

[2] browser.language: This value is intended to be taken from the Navigator API navigator.language.

[3] browser.mobile: This value is intended to be taken from the UA client hints API (navigator.userAgentData.mobile). If unavailable, this attribute SHOULD be left unset.

[4] browser.platform: This value is intended to be taken from the UA client hints API (navigator.userAgentData.platform). If unavailable, the legacy navigator.platform API SHOULD NOT be used instead and this attribute SHOULD be left unset in order for the values to be consistent. The list of possible values is defined in the W3C User-Agent Client Hints specification. Note that some (but not all) of these values can overlap with values in the os.type and os.name attributes. However, for consistency, the values in the browser.platform attribute should capture the exact value that the user agent provides.

[5] user_agent.original: The user-agent value SHOULD be provided only from browsers that do not have a mechanism to retrieve brands and platform individually from the User-Agent Client Hints API. To retrieve the value, the legacy navigator.userAgent API can be used.
