How does Yandex.Internetometer get true information about the user's browser if the user-agent is spoofed?
I'm using User Agent Switcher in Firefox on Ubuntu (Lubuntu/Kubuntu to be exact) 14.04. Sometimes I use user-agent from Chrome 28 under Windows 7 x64. Somehow I decided to check what they can find out about my browser. In particular, I used Yandex.Internetometer. Here is its detailed output in the part that interests me:
