Better RUM mobile browser classification
19 days ago by Joseph
On 3 December 2024 (UTC) we made some changes to the way that RUM browsers are classified within SpeedCurve. These changes primarily affect mobile browsers, but some desktop browsers are affected too. Below is a summary of the notable changes:
- Rather than being classified as simply "Android", "iPhone", or "iPad", mobile browsers are now classified by the actual browser type. For example "Mobile Safari", "Chrome Mobile", or "Samsung Internet".
- Edge is now recognised as a standalone browser and is no longer classified as Chrome.
- Opera Mini is now recognised as a standalone browser.
- In-app / WebView browsers are now classified as the app name. For example "Flipboard" or "Pinterest".

As well as changes to how browsers are classified, we now also store the operating system for each browser. You can use the Browser filter to segment and filter your data by operating system:
