3 years ago For Chrome rules can be expanded to also not match string "Edg/XYZ"
Scratch that! Edge on different platforms has different browser name https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/the-latest-user-agent/edge
Seems like the best way to exclude Edge would be to search for "Edg".
MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Browser_detection_using_the_user_agent
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
Per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/user-agent-string Edge user agent string also matches conditions "must contain Chrome/XYZ and must not contain Chromium/XYZ"
Specific section or headline?
Table in section https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Browser_detection_using_the_user_agent#browser_name
What did you expect to see?
For Chrome rules can be expanded to also not match string "Edg/XYZ"
Did you test this? If so, how?
Yes. Fire up latest desktop Edge via lambdatest.com and check navigator.userAgent via dev tools
