Mobile Browser ID Strings (a. User Agent ID)Tech Stuff - Mobile Browser ID (User- Agent) Strings. The non- mobile stuff is here (hint: you get jerked back by the power cord after 3 feet and your arms start to ache after 1. We started these pages with four strings because we had never seen a comprehensive list anywhere. Nominally RFC 1. 94. RFC 2. 06. 8 define them (get RFCs) but only as an afterthought (the RFCs define HTTP 1. Browser IDs, more correctly User Agent IDs, appear, among other places, as the environmental variable HTTP_USER_AGENT in Apache. You need this information to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment or to optimise the display or .. And if you want to check your browser string use our cheap trick page.New Stuff: It's been a very long time since the last update.Frankly, it seemed pretty pointless just updating the version numbers of chrome and FF and Opera which is what has mostly happened over the last couple of years. there. Not a lot of innovation was happening. And FF was slowly dying on the vine. Imagine our surprise (and delight) when we had to add 4 new browsers at this update. Most are just UI stuff (OK it's still innovation) on top of Webkit. Then we added brave which intercepts and replaces embedded adverts with its own (they say its better for the publisher and more secure - are they brave (or crazy) or what). Finally, we added Palemoon a number of years ago as a windows only FF optimization. The project seems to have changed significantly and now runs on *nix and windows and has its own rendering engine (Goanna). Maybe there is an alternative to the deadly boring rise of chrome and edge after all. We're going to look some more at this project. ![]() Department of useless stuff: Anyone know the difference between Open Mini and Mobile.. One of our smart readers responded with a link to Opera's site which says - roughly - that Opera Mobile is a real browser that can directly access the web - just like regular Opera and is designed for smartphones whereas Opera Mini is a cut- down browser that needs an Opera server and is typically used on feature phones. So there you go. As always thanks to everyone who took the time to supply a string - even if we didn't use it. The end of an era: The last version of Netscape - the browser that started the modern browser business is no more. Netscape is dead - long live Netscape (with appropriate shudders at the memory of NS 4. Getting the Strings for Nefarious Purposes (and in Other Formats)Note: The title is our normal (and puerile) attempt at humor. Plenty of folk want to use the strings for sensible and useful reasons. But that would make a boring title. ![]() You are perfectly at liberty to use the strings for any purpose you choose. We regularly get asked for these strings in other formats - mostly without all our pathetic attempts at humor in the explanations. We had studiously avoided doing anything because it smelled, vaguely, of work. Then we got an email from Marc Gray who suggested that we use a simple regular expression and was even kind enough to supply it. Marc provided a php script, which we enclose below (with a minor correction supplied by Dave Thomas) for those to whom it may be a more sensible solution (a formatted list based on this script is available here, credits and their script at the foot of the page). We slapped together a few lines of Javascript (you can't actually code in JS you can only slap things together - doubtless google would disagree) based on his idea so if you light the blue touch paper by clicking the button below, this page will disppear (after about 1. Simply save the resulting page and hack out anything that looks vaguely HTML'ish (the strings are enclosed in < p class="g- c- s"> < /p> tags). It was tested and works with FF (3 and 4), Webkit (Chrome/Safari), Opera 1. IE 9. 0 & even IE 1. IE 8. 0 does not work, which probably means all prior versions don't work either). We are progressively going to add the feature on a browser- by- browser basis for your delight, edification and titillation. To restore the page to its full glory(!) just hit your page refresh button. ![]() Note: We removed a bunch of annoying < br /> tags that were lying around inside the browser strings from our old page formatting method. Marc Gray's PHP script (untested by us). Notes: We always send an email to thank you for your contribution - if you don't get one it's 'cos your spam filters are probably putting it in your junk folder (thanks a bundle) or 'cos you gave us a wrong return address 'cos you don't trust us (thanks a bundle). As always - especially if you are feeling a super- sleuth moment coming on - have look at the mystery strings and strings from server logs to add to the total of mankind's knowledge. We discontinued the crawler, spiders and robots section - there is much better coverage at this site which is the home of robots. We used to publish the feature list for mobile things dating from the days when it would probably say something like - 'makes phone calls, 1. Now the spec list just leaves us with a feeling of inferiority (they are smarter than we are) and it takes about 6 hours to get the specs from these horrible 'graphic- overkill' mobile supplier web sites. So we stopped. For browser historians: We thought that Mosaic was the original browser. As usual we were wrong. James Butler took the time to drop us an email - thanks: Before there was NSCA's Mosaic there were several other browsers capable of interpreting HTML, including Erwise and Viola, both of which I used before the Andreeson project issued any software. Although primarily for viewing SGML, both of those browsers did a pretty good job of parsing the very basic HTML commands that Mr. Berners- Lee published as he developed his SGML subset (HTML).
For serious study of the topic Johnathan Mc. Cormack sent this link to an arstechnica article on the early web browsers. Fascinating stuff. If your browser string is NOT here please take a moment and click here then mail us the result (if you are using an exotic browser send us the URL of where to get it). We are now crediting the supplier of each string or answer individually as a homage to all those folks who take the time as thousands of you have done over the years. Many thanks for helping ourselves. We have added some info about changing UA strings which unless you have to do it is, we think, a Very Bad Thing™.

This section was started to include the browser strings generated by mobile things which we broadly define as: you don't need to be tarzan to carry it more than 2. Well its just a working definition and we are always open to suggestions. We were going to organize this section by browser - but we have decided to keep telephones separate - go figure. And if you have any better ideas remember - keep 'em to yourself (just joking). Mobile Development Resources. For those of us being threatened with reduced rankings if our site is not mobile friendly here is google's mobile test page. And if it fails go directly to jail, do not pass go.. Theo Tester (right) provided two new resource references: dev. W3. C Device Description working Group (DDWG) is also active in this area. And Sam ? provided a link to tiltview. Yaso Leon has pointed out that there is a sourceforge project dedicated to wireless browser strings for WAP developers. You may want to check it out. Thanks Yaso. Normen Kowalewski pointed out to us a long time ago (apologies) for those of you interested in this stuff that the W3. C have published a best practices for web layout for mobile users and the Open Mobile Alliance have a section on XHTML- MP (WAP Core). Well it's always better late than never. more.
