Low as the error suggests that no support exists for Client Hints on this browser.

Discussed with @Dreamy_Jazz; let's check for the existence of the function before using. This is probably a bug from Opera on iOS which uses WebKit, which doesn't support client hints.

I don't have access to the Opera browser for iOS, so I couldn't test that particular platform.

I tested other browsers and platforms, including Chrome on iOS and Android, Safari on iOS and Opera on Mac. Either the client hints request is sent after an edit or nothing happens and there is no javascript error.

Test environment: https://test.wikipedia.org CheckUser 2.5 (477a4cd) 23:23, 10 December 2023.

I don't see this appearing in logstash anymore ( https://logstash.wikimedia.org/goto/828e06fd7c0d1e597be223ad9ad0fc11 ), so this can be resolved.
