Hi everyone! Sorry for the late reply, but let me try to answer the questions which remain unanswered.

It identifies itself like AppleWebKit and Safari, which makes sense because Safari is the most known browser based on WebKit engine. The current Qt WebKit user agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/602.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Qt/5.15.10 Version/10.0 Safari/602.1 The Qt/5.15.10 component may be replaced with name and version of the application. Indeed, this is an ancient version. I think 602.1 branch is from 2016. However, changing it to a newer version would be lying. Qt WebKit is not supported by upstream Qt since Qt 5.6, and the first community fork is also dead now. There is another fork, but I won't call it alive either. > Qt 6 doesn't seem to have Qt webkit anymore, but QtWebEngine instead. > I guess signon-ui should move to QtWebEngine instead but sadly upstream > seems rather dead :(, the previous signon-ui release was more than 5 > years ago. Yes, Qt WebKit does not support Qt 6, so the only choice is to migrate to Qt WebEngine which is supported much better. I would recommend doing that even if you stay on Qt 5. Unlike Qt WebKit which is based on Apple WebKit, Qt WebEngine is based on Chromium codebase. Qt WebEngine user agents will look the following: Qt 5.15: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/5.15.15 Chrome/87.0.4280.144 Safari/537.36 Qt 6.4: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/6.4.2 Chrome/102.0.5005.177 Safari/537.36 Qt 6.6: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/6.6.0 Chrome/112.0.5615.213 Safari/537.36 -- Dmitry Shachnev
