Mobile Safari isnt just iOS. It is the *default* web browser on many Android phones.

Safari literally doesn't exist on Android phones; there is no such thing.

Some mobile browsers report themselves as compatible with Mobile Safari, which appears to be what you're seeing.

Iv given the user-agent. It is the 'Internet' browser that ships with the device. It passes the vast majority on the compliance tests for content editable.

@jayvdb, which device did you notice this on, and what was the browser named? Just "internet"? (Sorry, I know this is two years old!)

This is in the user-agent I posted with the bug.

and what was the browser named? Just "internet"? (Sorry, I know this is two years old!)

The app icon was 'Internet' (upper case I)

My phone has since been bricked & replaced, so I cant retest this bug.
