Specification: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/ Multipage: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/#client-identification Complete: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#client-identification Referrer: Comment: navigator.appName is always "Netscape" Posted from: 213.112.154.156 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.65 Safari/537.36 OPR/26.0.1656.32
I've tested IE11, Firefox Nightly, Chrome Canary, WebKit Nightly, Safari 8.0.2 and Opera 26.0, and the all return "Netscape", so there's no reason for the spec to say 'or the full name of the browser, e.g. "Mellblom Browsernator"', which allows differences where none is required for Web compat.
