Tool description

The User Agent Parser is a powerful tool for analyzing and extracting detailed information from browser user agent strings. Using the robust UA-Parser-JS library, this tool decodes user agent strings to reveal comprehensive details about the browser, operating system, rendering engine, and device architecture. The parser provides an easy way to understand the technical specifications and capabilities of different web clients, making it essential for web development, analytics, and debugging browser-specific issues.
