The Chrome team is exploring a
few changes to Chrome's UA string.
These changes are designed to provide additional details in the user-agent, remove redundancy,
and increase compatibility with Internet Explorer. They're also happening in conjunction with
similar changes in Firefox 4.
We intend to ship Chrome 11 with these changes, assuming they don't cause major web compatibility
problems. To test them out and ensure your website remains compatible with Chrome, we recommend
trying the Chrome
Dev
and
Beta
channel builds. If you have any questions, please check out the
blog post
on the Chromium blog or drop us a line at our
help forum.
