What device.type am I using?
{UAParser.js} abstracts away the hassle of User-Agent detection by turning them into a set of simple & meaningful data so you can focus on what really matters.
Now, detecting browser is as simple as UAParser().getBrowser()
This is what we get from your User-Agent data:
Extract Only What's Valuable
It's widely known that User-Agent string as of today is a mess. On the other hand, there is no reliable way to identify browser. {UAParser.js} fills this gap by filtering the noise away and extracts only the most relevant data available: Browser, Engine, OS, CPU, and Device.
Relatively Small Footprint
Started from JavaScript approach, {UAParser.js} is optimized to be used with browser. While it covers a vast range of detection, the size always kept to be as light as possible. For extra cache performance, {UAParser.js} also available in popular CDN services (jsDelivr/CDNJS).
