Browsers & Apps
WURFL detects over 100 browsers and 300 apps. Using the advertised_browser WURFL capability, advertisers and websites can identify the browser type and version that is visiting a website, and optimize accordingly.
Developers of native apps or webview-based hybrid apps can ensure their apps are accurately detected by the advertised_app_name WURFL capability for advertising and analytics purposes.
