OT, does anyone have a good source to identify browser user agent strings, tell you what browser it is? Finding a festering heap of ads...

Yeah not looking to buy something, just a one time free ting. We had a weird error that a dev thought might be down to a weird browser.

Oh I thought you just wanted a list of agents so you could make a comparison to something

Just want to identify this one user agent, that's all. I'd search a list, but didn't see one there without paying. Did I miss it? (Anyway, my secret point to the dev was that I didn't believe the browser was a likely source of the server-side error they were looking at.)

That entire page has a ton of them just broken down by devices etc…nothing paid for that I see?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/135.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Not found on that page. Anyway, like I said, I was mostly trying to tell a coworker they were barking up the wrong tree. Which I still think regardless of what browser that user was using.

Whats the error they are claiming?

That's 100% a normal version of Windows Chrome

Not doubting you're right, but where are you seeing that that you believe?

“Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64” = Windows 10, Chrome, um well it says chrome and version build

Error the dev was talking about was a missing url parameter. They are barking in the weeds (:-( Or they were, they've backed off that.

It matches the format that Chrome always uses, though it could always be something pretending to be Chrome too.

Sounds like the need to lay down the law on the dev to give a solid explanation/theory why they believe its the browser over anything else about their code lol

It also says it's safari, blah blah. Once upon a time user agent meant something, but Microsoft thought they'd just f up the world for everyone, and they did back then, in way worse respects that that. But that ship has sailed/sank/caught fire. In general nobody has any business sniffing or caring about user agents at this point anyway.

I asked them what the browser had to do with a missing url param, and that's when they said it wasn't relevant. Got my own challenges this morning, moving on from that one 🙂

Sounds like a dumpster fire with that dev ha

Yeah, good luck!

that is also exactly my default chrome user agent on windows 11
