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). 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. We had studiously avoided doing anything because it smelled, vaguely, of work. We regularly get asked for these strings in other formats - mostly without all our pathetic attempts at humor in the explanations. You are perfectly at liberty to use the strings for any purpose you choose. Plenty of folk want to use the strings for sensible and useful reasons. Note: The title is our normal (and puerile) attempt at humor. Getting the Strings for Nefarious Purposes (and in Other Formats) Netscape is dead - long live Netscape (with appropriate shudders at the memory of NS 4.x). The end of an era: The last version of Netscape - the browser that started the modern browser business is no more. So there you go.Īs always thanks to everyone who took the time to supply a string - even if we didn't use it. 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. We're going to look some more at this project.ĭepartment of useless stuff: Anyone know the difference between Open Mini and Mobile.no it's not the beginning of a joke. Maybe there is an alternative to the deadly boring rise of chrome and edge after all.
#Apple os x server v5.0.4 windows
The project seems to have changed significantly and now runs on *nix and windows and has its own rendering engine (Goanna). Finally, we added Palemoon a number of years ago as a windows only FF optimization. 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). Most are just UI stuff (OK it's still innovation) on top of Webkit. Imagine our surprise (and delight) when we had to add 4 new browsers at this 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. New Stuff: It's been a very long time since the last update. And if you want to check your browser string use our cheap trick page. to know who and what is crawling around your site. You need this information to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment or to optimise the display or. Browser IDs, more correctly User Agent IDs, appear, among other places, as the environmental variable HTTP_USER_AGENT in Apache.
Nominally RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 define them ( get RFCs) but only as an afterthought (the RFCs define HTTP 1.0 and 1.1). We started these pages with four strings because we had never seen a comprehensive list anywhere.
So we split the mobile things onto a separate page. This page was getting big - we're talking big.
