## Flags set for detected Browsers[Engines]
## Bowser Flags
Your mileage may vary, but these flags should be set. See Contributing below.
* `chrome`[`webkit`]
* `firefox`[`gecko`]
``` js
alert('Hello ' + bowser.name + ' ' + bowser.version);
```
### All detected browsers
These flags are set for all detected browsers:
* `name` - A human readable name for this browser. E.g. 'Chrome', ''
* `version` - Version number for the browser. E.g. '32.0'
Bowser makes a best guess to match name and version for unknown UA strings, so they may not be set.
### Rendering Engine Flags
If detected, one of these flags may be set to true:
* `webkit` - Chrome, Android, iOs, BB, etc.
* `gecko` - Firefox, etc.
* `msie` - IE <= 11
* `msedge` - IE > 11
Safari, Chrome and some other minor browsers will report that they have `webkit` engines.
Firefox and Seamonkey will report that they have `gecko` engines.
``` js
if (bowser.webkit) {
// do stuff with safari & chrome & opera & android & blackberry & webos & silk
}
```
### Device flags
If detected, one of these flags may be set to true:
* `mobile` - All detected mobile OSes are additionally flagged `mobile`, **unless it's a tablet**
* `tablet` - If a tablet device is detected, the flag `tablet` is set **instead of `mobile`**.
### Browsers flags

* `sailfish`
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.
`osversion` may also be set:
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.
* `osversion` - for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, WebOS, Bada, and Tizen. If included in UA string.
