User Agent String is completely wrong

[Richie Preece]

I'm running Chrome v42.0.2311.82 beta-m (64-bit)

But for some reason my user agent string shows as: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.94 Safari/537.36

Why would it show my user agent as Chrome 27?

If it happens only when the Developer Tools feature is open, you have probably changed it (or someone else did) in the device mode (an icon of a phone at the top left corner of the Developer Tools).

Disabling it should revert back to the regular user agent (or messing with the "UA" field in the dark panel at the top of the page, or with the "Spoof user agent" fields of the "Network" section in the "Emulation" pane that is available when you enable the console drawer using the Escape or Control + `).

See https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/device-mode#screen-emulator for details.

If that does not help, you might be using a command line flag (go to about:version and see if there is a --user-agent=... flag that matches that user agent string in the "Command line" section).

Yeah, neither of those things are the issue. It's weird.

Perhaps you installed an extension. Anyway, this is not the right group for such a topic as it is unrelated to the Developer Tools feature, apparently.
