User Agent Parser

Parse any user agent string to identify browser, OS, device type, and rendering engine. Auto-detects your current browser.

What is User Agent Parser?

A user agent parser analyzes the user agent string that every browser sends with HTTP requests. It extracts structured information including the browser name and version, operating system and version, device type (desktop, mobile, tablet, or bot), and the rendering engine (Blink, WebKit, Gecko, or Trident). This tool auto-detects your current browser's user agent on page load and lets you paste any custom user agent string for analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a user agent string?+
A user agent is a text string that browsers include in every HTTP request to identify themselves. It typically contains the browser name, version, operating system, and rendering engine information.
Why are user agent strings so long and cryptic?+
For historical compatibility reasons, browsers include legacy identifiers. Most modern browsers include "Mozilla/5.0" and "like Gecko" even though they are not Mozilla or Gecko-based, because servers used to block unknown browsers.
Can this detect bot traffic?+
Yes, the parser checks for common bot indicators like "bot", "crawler", "spider", "slurp", and "fetch" in the user agent string and classifies them as Bot device type.
How accurate is the detection?+
The parser uses regex patterns that cover all major browsers and operating systems. Edge cases with unusual or spoofed user agents may not parse correctly.
Can user agents be faked?+
Yes, user agents can easily be spoofed using browser extensions or developer tools. Never rely solely on user agent strings for security decisions.
Why does Chrome show version but my browser is Brave?+
Brave is built on Chromium and shares the Chrome user agent string. Some versions of Brave include a "Brave" identifier, but not all.
Does it work with server log entries?+
Yes, paste any user agent string from your server access logs and the parser will analyze it. This is useful for understanding your site traffic by browser and device.
What is the difference between WebKit and Blink?+
WebKit is Apple Safari rendering engine. Blink is Google fork of WebKit, used by Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, and other Chromium-based browsers. Both appear as "AppleWebKit" in user agent strings for compatibility.
