The browser information is obtained with [[Bowser, a browser detector library from Dustin Diaz|https://github.com/ded/bowser/]]. Possible browser names include:

* ''"Amazon Silk"''
* ''"Android"''
* ''"Bada"''
* ''"~BlackBerry"''
* ''"Chrome"''
* ''"Firefox"''
* ''"Internet Explorer"''
* ''"iOS"''
* ''"Opera"''
* ''"~PhantomJS"''
* ''"Safari"''
* ''"Sailfish"''
* ''"~SeaMonkey"''
* ''"~TiddlyDesktop"''
* ''"Tizen"''
* ''"~WebOS"''
* ''"Windows Phone"''

Note that Bowser returns "iPhone", "iPad" and "iPod" as distinct values for the name of the current browser. TiddlyWiki converts all three distinct values into "iOS" before copying to [[$:/info/browser/name]].
