User agent spoofing is a term used to describe an instance where a web browser's user agent's contents allow the web browser to pose and identify as another browser. Since websites often check the browser type when presenting content to users, user agent spoofing is beneficial for many web browsers in terms of compatibility. Microsoft Edge lets you change not only the user agent string, which can be anything from Internet Explorer and Google Chrome to mobile browsers like Safari, but also devices, with support for. It is now possible to enable Client Hints in Microsoft Edge. Every time you open a webpage, your browser sends some data about your device to a server in a line of code called “User Agent String”. User Agent consists of your browser name, version, operating system, etc. We have over 444,613 user agents for Edge which you can browse and explore. They are categorised by the browser, operating system, hardware type and so on; you can also see how popular a user agent is.

The User-Agent (UA) string is contained in the HTTP headers and is intended to identify devices requesting online content. The User-Agent tells the server what the visiting device is (among many other things) and this information can be used to determine what content to return. Of course this requires using a device detection solution which translates UAs into understandable software and hardware information.

User-Agent list for different device types

There are millions of User-Agent combinations given that UAs change with the software and hardware. For example, a Chrome browser on an iPhone 6 will introduce itself using a different UA than a Safari browser on the same phone.

Every device type, including phones, tablets, desktops, may come with its own UA that makes it possible to detect this device for any purpose. Interestingly bots and crawlers also come with their unique UAs.

Here is a list of example User-Agents for different device types that can be detected. If you’d like to learn more on these devices, just copy and paste the UAs to our User-Agent testing tool. Ms office 2016 update for mac. You’ll see all the properties of a detected device.
