FAQ
What is an HTTP User-Agent string?
A request header sent by web browsers to inform web servers about the application, operating system, vendor, and software version.
Why do most modern browsers include 'Mozilla/5.0' in their User-Agent?
For historical compatibility, modern browsers retain Mozilla/5.0 to ensure legacy web servers do not downgrade or block their content.
What is User-Agent Client Hints (UA-CH)?
A modern, privacy-preserving standard replacing verbose User-Agent strings with selective HTTP request headers like Sec-CH-UA.
Can User-Agent strings be spoofed by clients or web scrapers?
Yes, User-Agent headers can be altered in browser developer tools or HTTP libraries, so server security should not rely on them alone.
