What should I expect from this data?
All of the data that Fullstory extracts from user-agent strings is dependent upon the information provided by the browser. There may be cases where bots or niche browsers spoof or use misleading user-agent strings which would lead to inaccurate reporting of user-agent string data. Otherwise, all user-agent string data will accurately reflect the Browser, Browser version, Device type or Operating system of the end user.
