Are these in the correct order? (looks correct, but not sure)
Some example User-Agent strings (by GPT-4):

I would have a lot more confidence in this big if-statement if we had some tests for the above examples.
Also:
- Add Microsoft Edge

There's also a list of browsers in aw-webui's queries.ts: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-webui/blob/1f194ff6886d82ac5928e8cb944888d378c54157/src/queries.ts#L216
We should check so that the entirety of that list is covered. Right now I see it's missing Edge, Orion, and Vivaldi.
Might want to add a comment referring to queries.ts so that it can easily be cross-checked when modifying it in the future.

I updated the code to support Edge.

Performance improvement on the getBrowserName function.
Negative impact being that aw-watcher-web will not detect more rarely used browsers. This might be justified due to the application only being on the Firefox and Chrome addon store and the ease of adding support for a missing browser. The browser name "unknown" is used in the case of an unsupported browser.
I tested this on Firefox only.
