User Agent Abuse

September 3rd, 2008, at 11:47 a.m.

I was just playing with Google Chrome on a devel version of Fog Creek Copilot‘s website when I happened to glance down at the watch window and saw this atrocity as the user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13

Guys, that’s not even funny. It’s just regex bingo.
