How the strings are built
Since 2022 Chrome and Edge trim the User-Agent: the version ends in zeros, like 140.0.0.0, Windows 11 looks like Windows NT 10.0 and Android always shows version 10. The generator follows these rules, so the strings blend into site logs.
Safari on iPhone reports iOS 18_6 in the string since version 26 and shows the real number only in Version. Firefox ships a new version every four weeks, and so does Chrome.
When it helps
- User-Agent rotation in a scraper so requests do not share one string.
- Setting up antidetect browser profiles for different systems.
- Testing how a site answers mobile and desktop browsers.
- Replacing stale strings like Chrome 90 in old scripts.
