Suggestion: on mobile => platform.name = 'Chrome Mobile', replace with just 'Chrome'

[alx-so]

In my case I just need browser name to make DOM manipulations. On mobile you have to do additional work to split it to get just 'Chrome' string.

Suggestion:

• always return single browser name 'IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari' etc.
• add new boolean property platform.mobile = 'true/false';

Sorry for the late reply, this seems like a good idea - along with other changes such as adding platform.bot for detecting bots (and maybe headless browsers too?). This will probably only be available in v2 though.

It might be a good idea to have set of flags (e.g. bot, headless, or mobile) but don't you think they are all mutually-exclusive (e.g. type: bot, type: headless, or type: mobile)

How would one detect a bot?
I understand that one could a headless browser as such, and I guess almost all bots would operate through a headless browser. No?

Edit: Oh, [url=https://github.com//issues/67]I see[/url], some bots are so courteous to tell you who they are, while perusing various possible user agents for their mysterious purposes. (I don't know nuffin about bots.)

So I guess, not necessarily mutually exclusive, as there may be bots testing things for various platforms or headless or whatever.
