I do this list sort of as my ongoing contribution to chris pedericks project, as web developer, his web developer toolbar is an absolutely essential tool for me, and his user agent switcher list is a core test component for my php browser detection script, in fact, you may notice that new releases of the browser detection script often coincide with new useragent switcher lists, since I test the browser detector using the switcher list.

It was also nice to see him, on his part, after years, make this list his officially recommended one.

Thanks for the additional info, and I, too, (obviously) am a great fan of Chris'. I'll check out your php browser detection script, too (though it missed my OS/2 operating system, and reports N/A - ;-) .

In the interim, I stumbled upon a major faux pas in my post containing the UA string for the Pre3, which I've now corrected, as quoted, below:




Sorry about that. I either missed it when I transcribed it from my phone (the Pre3 is a royal pain for copy/paste), or I had a lousy detection site on the net. I just found out the hard way (some of my own code failed to pick it up).

Cheers!

post the user agent from your os/2 system, I thought the browser detection handled that, but of course, it's been a bit since that useragent has actually been seen in the world ;)

update: the touchpad 1.0 ua is already listed, it's under both tablets and hp devices.

The other hp I'm adding to the hp thing, but technically, there's just too many mobile devices out there to ever really keep up, see? even you missed that one of those ua strings was already present.

new user agent list is out with some new useragents, including the last hp one you listed.

Also side note:

Thinking the list should have:
Mobile Devices - Browsers
Edit:
IEMobile 6.12 (MSIE 6 - Win CE)
remove "; Microsoft ZuneHD 4.3"
Just have the base browser user agent, not with the device name.

Add:
IEMobile 7.11 (MSIE 6 - Win CE):
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11)

IEMobile 7.0 (MSIE 7 - WP 7):
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows Phone OS 7.0; Trident/3.1; IEMobile/7.0)

Under Mobile Browsers - Devices - HTC
(Not particularly needed, as would be silly to enumerate all the version strings across various carriers)

on Sprint:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11) Sprint:PPC6800

or on Verizon:

Under Mobile Browsers - OS - Windows
Add:
Windows CE - MSIE 6 - IEMobile 7.11:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows Phone 8.0; Trident/6.0; IEMobile/10.0; ARM; Touch)


Reasoning for adding:
Should at least have version strings for all the Major IEMobile Versions.
MSIE5 MSIEM 5 (Windows 6.0)
(Don't want to reflash the phone to stock rom to get this UAgent -- it's 5 years old now, so probably not worth it)

MSIE6 MSIEM 6 (Windows 6.1 Initial Release)
MSIE6 MSIEM 7 (Windows 6.1 Default Version)
MSIE6 MSIEM 8 (Windows 6.5 UI Overhaul)
MSIE7 MSIEM 7
[MSIE8 MSIEM 8 -- not sure if this exists]
MSIE9 MSIEM 9
MSIE10 MSIEM 10
(Couldn't find any phones in office that have IE 8 on it (if it ever was released in the US market)

thanks for the request and full reasoning/ua's.

The mobile section is pretty loose so any external input, particularly with explanation of why, is always welcome.

Sounds like a fine set for the next release, feel free to post again any time.

Why are gecko dates same & old(Gecko/20100101) for even new Firefox UA strings?
Back to top

Sorry for the late reply...

Presently, eComStation (OS/2) is stuck at FF 10.0.12 ESR and SM 2.7.2 (based on FF 10.0.12 ESR, but as there is no official SM ESR, it's really just 2.7.2), but there is work being done to get us back up to the current versions. eComStation 2.2 is in beta now, and expected to go GA in the next few weeks. Indeed, there are a number of us die-hards and large enterprise installations (see some of the larger group on www.ecomstation.com).

Meanwhile, here are four UA strings for you:

Firefox 10.0.12

Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:10.0.12) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.12

SeaMonkey 2.7.2

Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:10.0.12) Gecko/20130108 Firefox/10.0.12 SeaMonkey/2.7.2

Arora 0.11.0

Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; OS/2; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Arora/0.11.0 Safari/533.3

QupZilla 1.3.1

Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; OS/2; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) QupZilla/1.3.1 Safari/533.3

Thanks!

I think the one you have mentions webOS 3.0.2 vs 3.0.5, and an earlier version of the browser, but it's surely close enough for these purposes. I agree; this could easily be a losing battle to try to keep up (like AV definitions).

Thanks again for the updated release(s)!
