-## Adding Tests
+## Adding Browser Support and Tests
 
 See the list in `test/acceptance/useragentstrings.yml` with example user agents and their expected `bowser` object.
 
-Whenever you add support for new browsers or notice a bug / mismatch, please update the list and
-check if all tests are still passing.
+Whenever you add support for new browsers or notice a bug / mismatch, please update the list and check if all tests are still passing. Also, make sure to keep the list of browser aliases up-to-date in `src/constants.js`.
+
+For creating aliases, keep the following guidelines in mind:
+ - use only lowercase letters for names
+ - replace special characters such as space and dashes by underscore
+ - whenever possible drop the word `browser` from the original browser name
+ - always check for possible duplicates
+ - aliases are supposed to also be a shorter version of the original name
+
+Examples:
+`Opera Coast` --> `opera_coast`
+`UC Browser`  --> `uc`
+`SeaMonkey`   --> `seamonkey`
