What does a user agent parser do?
A user agent parser reads the user agent string sent by a browser, app, crawler or device and tries to identify the browser, version, operating system, device type and rendering engine.
Decode user agent strings to detect browsers, operating systems, device types, rendering engines and crawlers.

A user agent parser reads the user agent string sent by a browser, app, crawler or device and tries to identify the browser, version, operating system, device type and rendering engine.
User agents often appear in server logs, analytics reports, debugging tools, browser support tickets and HTTP request headers. You can also click the “Use My UA” button to see the one your current browser reports.
Sometimes. iPhone, iPad, common Android models and many bots are easy to detect. Some browsers hide or simplify device details, so the exact model is not always available.
Many Windows 11 browsers still use the same Windows NT 10.0 token. A normal user agent string usually cannot reliably separate Windows 10 from Windows 11.
No. The parsing happens locally in your browser. The pasted user agent string is not uploaded by this tool.
Yes. Browsers, crawlers and automated clients can change their user agent text. Use parser results as clues for debugging, not as verified proof of identity.
