User Agent Detector

The User Agent string itself does **not** pose a direct security risk like a virus or malware. However, because it contains detailed information about your software and operating system, it can contribute to a browser's "fingerprint." Web tracking companies can use this unique combination of data to identify and track users across different sites, which raises privacy concerns.

Browsers are transitioning to a system called **User-Agent Client Hints (UA-CH)** to improve privacy. This process involves "freezing" or simplifying the traditional User Agent string. The goal is to reduce the amount of passive information available for fingerprinting while still allowing websites to request specific, critical information (like OS version or device model) only when needed.

Yes, you can. Many modern browsers include built-in developer tools or extensions that allow you to **spoof** (pretend to be) a different User Agent string. Developers often use this feature to test how their website appears and functions on various devices and operating systems without needing the physical hardware.
