Notes

Regardless of the Plugin method, the UserAgent property of the WebView component must not be changed to non-standard content.

Kivicube uses industry-standard methods to obtain basic browser information from the UserAgent.

Therefore, once the UA is non-standard, it will cause unexpected runtime behavior — for example, mobile access may be mistakenly recognized as PC access.

Reference for standard UA format: User-Agent - MDN

Recommended UA handling method:

On the basis of the default UA, only add your own keywords or identification information at the end.
