Very little trouble? That user agent says it’s Mozilla, then says it’s Windows 10, then says it’s Apple, then says it’s Gecko, then says it’s Chrome, then even though it said it was Windows it goes on to say it’s Safari.
The individual headers, on the other hand, tell you EXACTLY what the system and browser is.
- jsjddbbwj 7y agoThat's because you have no experience. Any web developer worth their salt knows what the string means and what browser it represents. Which is okay because user agents are to be parsed by computers and rarely developers, not end users.
- freehunter 7y agoWell that's quite rude, you don't know me at all so you have no idea how much experience I have. And it's also quite contradictory... if the string is only rarely to be parsed by developers, why would "any web developer worth their salt" bother memorizing every browser's user agent? Experienced web developers don't have anything better to do than memorize a useless string they rarely have to work with?
