Frequently Asked Questions

What is a user agent string?
A user agent string is sent by your browser with every HTTP request. It identifies your browser type, version, operating system and device. Websites use it to serve the right content, analytics tools use it to measure browser market share, and security systems use it to detect bots.
Can websites use my user agent to track me?
Yes. Your user agent is part of your browser fingerprint. Combined with your screen resolution, time zone, fonts and other signals, it helps websites identify returning visitors even without cookies. Tools like Firefox with Resist Fingerprinting or the Tor Browser normalise the user agent to reduce this.
How do I change my user agent?
In Chrome DevTools (F12 → Network → Network conditions → User agent). Firefox has similar DevTools options. Browser extensions like User-Agent Switcher also work. VPNs do not change your user agent — only browser settings or extensions can.
What is the difference between user agent and browser fingerprint?
A user agent is a single string. A browser fingerprint is a combination of dozens of signals — user agent, screen resolution, installed fonts, canvas rendering, WebGL data, time zone, language and more. The fingerprint is much harder to spoof than just changing the user agent.

What a user agent string is

Every request your browser makes includes a User-Agent header describing the browser, its version, the operating system and the device. Websites use it to serve the right layout or download, to detect bots, and in their analytics. This tool shows the exact string your browser sends and what it means.

Why the strings look so strange

A typical Chrome string starts with Mozilla/5.0 and mentions AppleWebKit, KHTML, Gecko and Safari, even though Chrome is none of those. Each new browser copied the markers of older ones so that websites checking for them would not lock it out, and the clutter stuck. The useful parts are usually the browser name and version near the end and the platform in brackets.

User-agent reduction

Because detailed strings help fingerprint people, Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers now freeze parts of the string, for example reporting a fixed Windows version, and offer User-Agent Client Hints instead, which sites have to request explicitly. So the string may not show your exact operating system version.
