Navigator Interface Settings

The Navigator Interface settings provide information that legacy web applications use to facilitate browser detection. You can customize these settings if you require browser-specific behavior. The settings are:

appName - All browsers return "Netscape" as the value of this property.
appVersion - The browser returns either "4.0" or a string representing version information about the browser.
platform - The browser returns an empty string or a string representing the platform on which the browser is running.

Examples:

MacIntel, Win32, Win64, iPhone
