FAQ — User-Agent Parser Free Online Tool
Are User-Agent strings reliable for device detection?
They can be spoofed. For reliable device detection, use a combination of UA parsing, screen size detection, and feature detection.
What is the difference between UA detection and feature detection?
UA detection checks the browser name/version string. Feature detection (modern approach) checks if a specific API exists (e.g., 'fetch' in window). Feature detection is more reliable.
Is this tool affiliated with any browser vendor?
No. This is an independent utility. UA parsing is based on the public UA string specification.
