From: https://github.com/bestiejs/platform.js/issues/29 "the new S4 stock browser is actually using a bastardized version of Chrome Mobile, but locked at version 18.0.1025.308".
they quote the ua as: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.2.2; en-au; SAMSUNG GT-I9500 Build/JDQ39) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/1.0 Chrome/18.0.1025.308 Mobie Safari/535.19" This UA might easily be mistaken for the vanilla version of Chrome.. There might be more browsers like that. Thank you manufacterers.
