    console.log(parser);
    /*
        /// this will print an object structured like this:
        {
            browser: {
                name: "",
                major: "",
                version: ""
            },
            engine: {
                name: "",
                version: ""
            },
            os: {
                name: "",
                version: ""
            }
        }
    */
