Chrome on iPhone reports "safari" in userAgent service

[hassanasad]

The UserAgentInfoRx service is reporting Chrome as "Safari" on iphone X

Can you please look into it?

@hassanasad that is correct. A Chrome, Firefox or Opera are the same on iOS (Safari / WebKit).

The Chrome Engine is Chromium, but under iOS it is WebKit. Apple dont allow the Browser-Companys to use his own Engine on iOS-Devices.

@dertuerke okay but i see it "safari" even on MacOS on a macbook pro. That shouldn't happen right?

Had to implement some hacky method to fix that for myself.

Basically this line:

isChrome = !!window.chrome;
