Browser User Agent Strings

Posted by: Dion Almaer on 06/18/2007

Is it me, or are browser user agents getting sillier and sillier and sillier:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A542a Safari/419.3

I know that they result from testing, but sheesh. Extrapolate this to 2020 and what will we have?
