* `name` - A human readable name for this browser. E.g. 'Chrome', ''
* `version` - Version number for the browser. E.g. '32.0'

Android, iOS, Windows Phone, WebOS, Bada, and Tizen will all report the OS version number if it is contained in the UA string in the `osversion` field. iOS is always reported as `ios` and additionally as `iphone`/`ipad`/`ipod`, whichever one matches best. If WebOS device is an HP TouchPad the flag `touchpad` is additionally set.
### Rendering engine flags
If detected, one of these flags may be set to true:
All detected mobile OSes are additionally flagged `mobile`, **if they are not powering a tablet device**. If a tablet device is detected, the flag `tablet` is set instead.
* `webkit` - Chrome, Android, iOs, BB, etc.
* `gecko` - Firefox, etc.
* `msie` - IE <= 11
* `msedge` - IE > 11
### Notes
Safari, Chrome and some other minor browsers will report that they have `webkit` engines, Firefox and Seamonkey will report that they have `gecko` engines.
