We're using matomo to track internal applications which can be accessed either directly from the browser or using a container e.g. electron or a vendor alternative (e.g. one of these https://www.normanandsons.com/research/).

Right now the user-agent sent by the electron derived container is just being picked up as Chrome - it would be great if we could somehow inject our own browser strings to match against, specifically it would be really great if we could match both browser and version.

Cheers for the feature suggestion @jonfreedman I reckon we won't work on this since it is rather rarely needed but the beauty of Matomo is that it should be possible to do this in a plugin. If someone is keen to work on this: https://developer.matomo.org/guides/getting-started-part-1

That's disappointing, it feels like this would be a trivial enhancement for someone who understands how the existing user-agent parsing works and will have a huge learning curve for someone who doesn't.
