Get the useragent

[3vr]

Dear,
How do I get the useragent version of cef?
I tried the code below, but it returns empty.

Code: Select all

GlobalCEFApp.UserAgent
GlobalCEFApp.UserAgentProduct

I later checked the existence of the function

Code: Select all

GetDefaultCEFUserAgent

But it returns a different string than what the browser detects.

Hi,

Try calling GetDefaultCEFUserAgent in uCEFMiscFunctions.

Yes I did it. But the string is different.
I put a comparison above.

You're right. Sorry I answered too quickly.

I just uploaded a fixed version of GetDefaultCEFUserAgent to GitHub.

I also added a context menu option called "Browser information..." to the MiniBrowser demo. It uses the "Browser.getVersion" devtools method to get the real user agent string and it also shows the returned GetDefaultCEFUserAgent value.

As you can see, the CEF binaries are not reporting Wow processes correctly but the rest of the user agent string is now correct and GetDefaultCEFUserAgent can be used from Windows, macOS and Linux now.

Use the "Browser.getVersion" devtools method if you want the real user agent string.

I just tested the official CEF sample application for Windows 32 bits and it also shows the wrong user agent when you run it in Windows 64 bits :
