Why is there Inconsistent Recording of Browser Platforms When Using Forms on Different Devices?

Dear Bricks team,
I’ve created a form and used the database save function. I used my mobile device, an Android phone, and ran the Brave browser. When I checked the form submissions, it indicated that it received the form from Chrome with the OS being Linux.
Thanks.

Hi @Ultron,

The form submissions feature in Bricks identifies the browser and operating system based on the user agent string provided by the browser when the form is submitted. Brave browser is built on Chromium, the open-source project that Google Chrome is also based on, and it uses a very similar user agent string. This is why the form submissions feature identifies submissions from Brave as coming from Chrome.

As for the operating system, Android is based on the Linux kernel, so it’s identified as Linux in the form submissions.
