What is user agent
A browser user agent is a string of text that a browser sends to a web server to identify itself and its version. User agent string typically includes information about the browser's name, version and operating system.
It can also include browser's language, screen resolution and installed browser extensions. Web servers use this information to determine which browser is being used by the client and to provide appropriate content in response to the browser's request.
