Apparently, Chromecast doesn't have a "user-agent". It's the user-agent of whatever made the request (i.e. Chrome browser on your laptop) -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 2, 11:30 5
- Did the GoogleTV have a user agent? I thought they shut that down. -- nm - spamlet Aug 2, 11:40 1
  - It had something that was unique so they found a way to block it. It was using a modified version of chrome -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 11:41
- Yeah, it's more like a wifi second screen then a separate system. -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 11:32 2
  - This is an apt analogy. Apt, I say! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 2, 11:50 1
    - I am delighted to receive your approval. Delighted I say! -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 11:51
