Annoying browser compatibility warning, false positive #105

Closed wknapik closed 4 years ago

wknapik commented 4 years ago

Humio Version: Humio Cloud v1.6.5 Browser Version: Brave Browser 78.0.70.122 (Linux)

I'm getting this annoying warning in bright red saying

Your browser version is not supported by Humio. As a result you may broken functionality and visual errors. We recommend using one of the following browsers for the best experience: Edge (Macos): >=77, Edge (Windows): >=18, Safari: >=12.1, Chrome: >=60, Firefox: >=65

My browser is based on Chromium and works perfectly fine with Humio, so all the warning does is annoy me every time I go to cloud.humio.com. Please fix the "compatibility" detection, or remove the warning altogether.

This all smacks of the old "This website is best viewed in Internet Explorer 6 in 800x600 resolution". I thought those days were behind us...

Thank you - we will take a look. The idea was actually to avoid old browsers, chromium browsers should be OK

Hi @wknapik we have been looking into reproducing this without any luck. Could you do us a favour and return us your user-agent? E.g. by using this tool: https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/parse/ Then click the "your own user agent" and tell us what result you are getting. This will help us a lot in our troubleshooting.

Hi @andejens,

Now I can't reproduce this myself either. I did upgrade the browser and various extensions since reporting the issue though.

Brave on Linux will normally present a user agent like

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36

but I do normally spoof it, in which case it would be something like

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Neither of these produce the error message anymore.

FWIW, I think looking at the user agent is wrong, since anyone can present any ua string they like and there are good reasons to spoof it, but it's up to you. Feel free to resolve this issue.

Thanks, WK
