I logged the user agent browsing my website with a Google Chrome developer preview. And here’s the Google Chrome Browser user agent on my Mac OS X.

As you can see, the browser token is the same because both Google Chrome OS and my Mac are running the same browser version. Google Chrome OS identifies itself with the CrOS i686 9.10.0 token, as you can see in the first user agent.

I’m wondering how long it takes before analytics software will start tracking Google OS users.

On Mac, Safari 4 identifies itself with the following user agent. The Intel Mac OS X 10_5_6 token represents the os version the client is running, in this case Leopard.

The following one identifies Safari 4 on Windows. The Windows NT 5.1 token represents the version of Microsoft Windows os the client is running, in this case Windows XP.

Safari version can be extracted from the Version/4.0 token, regardless the operating system behind the browser. Even in Safari 4 the browser doesn’t forsake the habit of injecting the cryptic Apple web kit version in the final user agent. You can see it identified by the token AppleWebKit/528.16.
