Tech Stuff - Mobile Browser ID (User-Agent) Strings
The non-mobile stuff is here (hint: you get jerked back by the power cord after 3 feet and your arms start to ache after 10 minutes with non-mobile stuff) or click on any right menu link for the browser/section.
We started these pages with four strings because we had never seen a comprehensive list anywhere. Nominally RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 define them (get RFCs) but only as an afterthought (the RFCs define HTTP 1.0 and 1.1). Browser IDs, more correctly User Agent IDs, appear, among other places, as the environmental variable HTTP_USER_AGENT in Apache. You need this information to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment or to optimise the display or ... to know who and what is crawling around your site. And if you want to check your browser string use our cheap trick page.
New Stuff: Again it's been a very long time since the last update. Frankly, it seems pretty pointless just updating the version numbers of Chrome (66) and FF (59) which is what has mostly happened over the last couple of years. We fear that browser innovation is now essentially dead. We have a volatile HTML specification (HTML 5 is whatever the cabal decides it is today) so that only the seriously resourced can keep up. Meaning WebKit and Microsoft ('cos they'll always be there) with Mozilla becoming increasingly irrelevant (look at the stats). The big web sites (you know who we mean) are part of the HTML 5 cabal. Automatic browser updates means they can reject not-the-very-latest-HTML5-flavor browsers re-inforcing the lock-in. Maybe we are too pessimistic. Can Goanna (Palemoon) survive in this environment as a lone outpost? Or is there another project that could? Hope springs external. And besides we are dyed-in-the-wool K-Meleon users so what do we know.
Department of useless stuff: Anyone know the difference between Open Mini and Mobile...no it's not the beginning of a joke. 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. So there you go.
As always thanks to everyone who took the time to supply a string - even if we didn't use it.
The end of an era: The last version of Netscape - the browser that started the modern browser business is no more. Netscape is dead - long live Netscape (with appropriate shudders at the memory of NS 4.x).
Getting the Strings for Nefarious Purposes (and in Other Formats)
Note: The title is our normal (and puerile) attempt at humor. Plenty of folk want to use the strings for sensible and useful reasons. But that would make a boring title. You are perfectly at liberty to use the strings for any purpose you choose.
We regularly get asked for these strings in other formats - mostly without all our pathetic attempts at humor in the explanations. We had studiously avoided doing anything because it smelled, vaguely, of work. 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. 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). We slapped together a few lines of Javascript (you can't actually code in JS you can only slap things together - doubtless google would disagree) based on his idea so if you light the blue touch paper by clicking the button below, this page will disppear (after about 10 to 20 secs - depending on the speed of your processor) only the raw strings will remain. Simply save the resulting page and hack out anything that looks vaguely HTML'ish (the strings are enclosed in <p class="g-c-s"></p> tags). (view javascript here) It was tested and works with FF (3 and 4), Webkit (Chrome/Safari), Opera 11.x (works on small data sets, croaks on the whole page), and IE 9.0 & even IE 10 (IE 8.0 does not work, which probably means all prior versions don't work either). We are progressively going to add the feature on a browser-by-browser basis for your delight, edification and titillation. To restore the page to its full glory(!) just hit your page refresh button.
Note: We removed a bunch of annoying <br /> tags that were lying around inside the browser strings from our old page formatting method.
// Marc Gray's PHP script (untested by us)
// use at your discretion
<?php
$page = file_get_contents('http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/mobile_ids.html');
preg_match_all('/<(p) class="g-c-[ns]"[^>]*>(.*?)<\/p>/s', $page, $m);
$agents = array();
foreach($m[2] as $agent) {
$split = explode("\n", trim($agent));
foreach($split as $item) {
$agents[] = trim($item);
}
}
// $agents now holds every user agent string, one per array index, trimmed
foreach($agents as $agent) {
echo($agent."\n");
}
?>
Notes:
We always send an email to thank you for your contribution - if you don't get one it's 'cos your spam filters are probably putting it in your junk folder (thanks a bundle) or 'cos you gave us a wrong return address 'cos you don't trust us (thanks a bundle).
As always - especially if you are feeling a super-sleuth moment coming on - have look at the mystery strings and strings from server logs to add to the total of mankind's knowledge.
We discontinued the crawler, spiders and robots section - there is much better coverage at this site which is the home of robots.txt which is, as you all know, the file that tells well behaved crawlers to 'keep out' of your dirty linen.
We used to publish the feature list for mobile things dating from the days when it would probably say something like - 'makes phone calls, 15 char display, weighs 6 pounds'. Now the spec list just leaves us with a feeling of inferiority (they are smarter than we are) and it takes about 6 hours to get the specs from these horrible 'graphic-overkill' mobile supplier web sites. So we stopped.
For browser historians: We thought that Mosaic was the original browser. As usual we were wrong. James Butler took the time to drop us an email - thanks:
Before there was NSCA's Mosaic there were several other browsers capable of interpreting HTML, including Erwise and Viola, both of which I used before the Andreeson project issued any software. Although primarily for viewing SGML, both of those browsers did a pretty good job of parsing the very basic HTML commands that Mr. Berners-Lee published as he developed his SGML subset (HTML).
If your browser string is NOT here please take a moment and click here then mail us the result (if you are using an exotic browser send us the URL of where to get it). We are now crediting the supplier of each string or answer individually as a homage to all those folks who take the time as thousands of you have done over the years. Many thanks for helping ourselves. We have added some info about changing UA strings which unless you have to do it is, we think, a Very Bad Thing™.
Mobile Things
This section was started to include the browser strings generated by mobile things which we broadly define as:
you don't need to be tarzan to carry it more than 20 metres
you don't get jerked back by a power cord when you move more that 3 feet
you like to concentrate and squint to look at screens
you like to spend a lot of time looking at screens in the shade
you get turned on by battery chargers
you enjoy sticking things in your ear
you enjoy walking down the street apparently talking to yourself
Well its just a working definition and we are always open to suggestions. We were going to organize this section by browser - but we have decided to keep telephones separate - go figure. And if you have any better ideas remember - keep 'em to yourself (just joking).
Mobile Development Resources
For those of us being threatened with reduced rankings if our site is not mobile friendly here is google's mobile test page. And if it fails go directly to jail, do not pass go....
Theo Tester (right) provided two new resource references: dev.mobi/ provides a load of information and tools to help you develop amd optimize mobile web content and the W3C Device Description working Group (DDWG) is also active in this area. And Sam ? provided a link to tiltview.com which lets you look at sites as if from a mobile device.
The value Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 in most modern mobile UA strings defines its Mobile Information Device Profile version 2.0 which in turn describes its Java based capabilities since that is the widely supported method for extending the phone/pda capabilities.
Not strictly a browser but a service for PalmOS and Windows CE users which uses a special browser to optimize content presentation.

Explanation: Bolt browser on Sony Ericsson K800i. String from Thu Win - thanks.
DoCoMo
OK, we know it's not really a browser but a Japanese service - so how would you classify it? (though from reading various press releases they do seem to have licensed some browser technology). And besides - see if we care!
Many thanks to Charles Gutjahr for providing this link (to a PDF doc) which explains the rules for browser identification for Japanese I-Mode devices (hint: It's in Appendix B).
This has now turned into a Japanese corner and covers a number of mobile services in that country - not just DoCoMo - much of the data was supplied by Ale Karawapo - very many thanks.

stopped accepting new customers on April 30, 2004, and will kill the
service completely in the third quarter of 2007.
Mobile optimised browser available for Android, Apple and other smartphones. Seems you can do all kinds of things like talk to it, draw pictures of the things you want to search for (interesting possibilities for the more imaginative) and even have tabbed browsing. Dolphin's website indicates that you can switch between 'desktop' and 'mobile' views. Strings also scattered around the mobile manufacturer's sections.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

Explanation: Browser from Eudora, PalmOS 3.0 on a Treo 180. Does the above string mean they have lousy Netscape compatability and great MSIE compatability?
Tiny foot-print browser from the mozilla folks - we guess the plan is you can have all those wonderful features on a screen the size of your finger nail. Just think about tabbed browsing on that. Shivers down the spine stuff. Notified by Eugene Sadhu - just waiting for a string - anyone? Wonder how many times they will change the name before it's released (just musing out loud).

Explanation: Mozilla project's Minimo on Windows CE Mobile 5.x. String from Alex Williams - thanks. Alex notes that this a very early version and CSS positioning is not fully supported and the character rendering leaves a lot to be desired on small screens - but tabbed browsing on a PDA - wow.
PocketLink V2.56b for PalmOS 3.5 to 5.x (PalmOS 3.5,PalmOS 4.0,PalmOS 4.1,PalmOS 5.0,PalmOS 5.x). Apaprently the original version is no longer available from PalmOS.
Open source off-line browser system for the PalmOS - seems to read the pages into web host - modify them and then deliver to the PalmOD PDA. Or something like that. And please do be careful how you pronounce it in mixed company - and never after imbibing even vaguely alchoholic liquids.

Cricket-A200/1.0 UP.Browser/6.3.0.7 (GUI) MMP/2.0
Explanation/Update: While this is the same string as shown below (the Cricket CAPTR A200) Bruce writes that this string is only supplied when using normal page view mode, when in mobile mode it generates the follwing:
Mozilla/5.0 (en-us) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko; Google Wireless Transcoder) Version/3.1 Safari/525.13 T
Doubtless there is perfectly sensible explanation for this behavior - it just (as with most things) happens to elude us. String from Bruce Clark - thanks.

Google
The search engine speaks. The maker of the first 'superphone' known to mankind (aka Nexus One). Oh well, perhaps this one didn't work out so well. But I guess if you are sitting on a gazillion billion dollars you can afford the occasional flop. Still with Nexus S and 7 they show stamina at least.

HTC
Historically HTC products were badged for use by operators. But when brands are established ego tends to take over. To say nothing of margins. However, their web site is crisp, fast, looks good and does not have all that glizy stuff that almost every other mobile supplier does and which takes about three hours to load each page. Long may it continue.
Update: Do these companies never use their own sites? OK we take it all back. HTC have finally succumbed to fashion. We got caught with a 63% load on our (admittedly modest CPU'd) PC just looking at a single page. Sigh. All because of some stupid revolving image that looked as if the phone was being thrown into a furnace. Perhaps the owner tried to access the web site from the phone - just a thought. Long live the brain dead (oops, we should have said the marketing) department.

Motorola
After the fabulous RAZR series they seemed to lose it. You cannot sit on your laurels, or anything else for that matter, in the mobile business. Maybe there is life after death. The Droid series seems to have been rather well received. Perhaps not by google....so they bought them to avoid the competition - makes sense if you have a spare couple of hundred billion lying around. Now sold on to Lenovo who also bought IBM's PC business in the late sixteenth century - or there about.
Explanation: Motorola RAZR V3r with software version R4515_G_08.BD.43R and FLEX version SE6770AXXF1081 (the carrier details).

Nintendo
We just could not imagine naming a section Wii so we filed under Nintendo just to confuse everyone.

Nokia
Brand name sold to HMD Global (started by ex-nokia exec). We're sure there is a sensible numbering scheme for Nokia's model numbers, after all they were invented by a marketing person, and we all know how smart they are - it's just we have no idea what it is - so we're gonna re-organize into alpha-numeric order - our alpha-numeric order - which means if you think we made a mistake - you're wrong.
For those of you working on Nokia web development Zoltan Szentesi has provided this link which provides information on features supported by a range of devices - thanks. And more - is there no limit to the generosity of mankind - a list of browsers ids for the n80 range - kindly provided by Luis Albinati - thanks.
