Bug 133855 – [Gtk] [Stable] Fix the "Safari" part of the UA

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Sergio Villar Senin]

The part of our UA where we claim to be Safari is plainly wrong. Since version 3.0 the Safari user agent has the following structure:

Version/X Safari/Y

while in WebKitGtk that part looks like

Safari/Y Version/6.0

This is causing problems with lots of websites, some of them very important like live.com (hotmail.com) our www.icloud.com, that report "unsupported browser" problems.

This is basically a port of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133403
