What is my user agent? – WhatIsMyBrowser.com
Your User Agent is:
This page shows you what your web browser is sending in the “User-Agent” header for your HTTP requests. Want to know what headers your browser is sending?
What does all of that mean?!
Each bit of your user agent indicates something particular about your system.
There’s no “standard” way of writing a user agent string, so different web browsers use different formats (some are wildly different), and many web browsers cram loads of information into their user agents. That’s where steps in – we decode your user agent string to figure out everything it’s saying.
Check out our user agent analyser page, which gives you a neat breakdown of all the things we can tell you about your browser and computer based on your user agent. We have a User Agent API if you need to use the detection in your own system too.
Can I change my user agent?
It is possible to change or “fake” what your web browser sends as its user agent. Some mobile web browsers will let you change what the browser identifies itself as (ie “Mobile Mode” or “Desktop Mode”) in order to access certain websites that only allow desktop computers. If you change this setting, the user agent is what is affected.
What are some other user agent strings?

Firefox UA stringFor more on Firefox- and Gecko-based user agent strings, see the Firefox user agent string reference. The UA string of Firefox is broken down into 4 components:
Mozilla/5. 0 (platform; rv:geckoversion) Gecko/geckotrail Firefox/firefoxversion
Mozilla/5. 0 is the general token that says that the browser is Mozilla-compatible. For historical reasons, almost every browser today sends it.
platform describes the native platform that the browser is running on (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, etc. ) and if it is a mobile phone. Firefox OS phones say Mobile — the web is the platform. Note that platform can consist of multiple “;”-separated tokens. See below for further details and examples.
rv:geckoversion indicates the release version of Gecko (such as “17. 0”). In recent browsers, geckoversion is the same as firefoxversion.
Gecko/geckotrail indicates that the browser is based on Gecko. (On the desktop, geckotrail is always the fixed string 20100101. )
Firefox/firefoxversion indicates that the browser is Firefox and provides the version (such as “17. 0”).
ExamplesMozilla/5. 0 (Windows NT 6. 1; Win64; x64; rv:47. 0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47. 0

Opera UA stringThe Opera browser is also based on the Blink engine, which is why it almost looks the same as the Chrome UA string, but adds “OPR/
