Map versions of Chromium-based browsers to their equivalent Chrome versions.
About this project
This package was created for Browserslist-GA, a package that lets you use your own analytics with Browserslist. Browserslist uses data from caniuse.com and so only supports the same browsers.
There are some other popular browsers however in some regions that are Chromium-based. This package maps versions of those browsers to their equivalent Chrome/Chromium versions so they can be tracked when used with tools such as Browserslist-GA.
How does it work
Let's take the Yandex Browser (or YaBrowser), a popular browser in russian-speaking countries, as an example. The Yandex Browser UA strings look like this:
Mozilla/5.0 (<platform>) AppleWebKit/<webkit-rev> (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/<chrome-version> YaBrowser/<yabrowser-version> Safari/<webkit-rev>
Platform can be Windows, Linux, macOS or Android (on iOS is different since all browsers use Safari's WebKit as the underlying engine).
This repository contains a file named yabrowser.json that maps YaBrowser major and minor versions to the equivalent Chrome versions.
The format is as follows:
[<yabrowser-major>, <yabrowser-minor>, <chrome-major>, <chrome-minor>]
Supported browsers
- Yandex Browser (or YaBrowser), a popular browser in russian-speaking countries
- Cốc Cốc Browser, the 2nd most popular browser in Vietnam
- QQ Browser for Windows, the 2nd most popular desktop browser in China
- Electron, a framework to develop cross-platform desktop applications
