I found strange user-agent while searching through my apache access.log. Are there anyone who had seen this user-agent before:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.108 Safari/537.36 MZBrowser/7.7.110-2019010410

I'm wondering how is it possible, because MZBrowser looks like a valid Meizu Browser identifier, but Windows NT 5.2 doesn't make sense in it at all.

Any suggestions?

  • so someone can not be using windows server 2003 (I think that is it without looking it up) – epascarello Mar 21 '19 at 17:40
  • Slightly off-topic: Why is this tagged with `javascript`? If you're trying to use the user-agent to customize the javascript for individual users, you should probably use [feature detection](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Tools_and_testing/Cross_browser_testing/Feature_detection) instead. – p.s.w.g Mar 21 '19 at 17:51
  • You can set a custom user-agent for embedded browsers and direct connections from applications. Firefox also has/had a plugin for doing this. Don't assume user-agents will always be valid. – Dave S Mar 21 '19 at 18:40

It's definitely the Desktop mode's user agent string.

You can switch browser to it following the official user manual (p. 30, Request desktop site).
