Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
The HTTP Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
request header is a user agent client hint which provides the user-agent's branding and full version information.
The Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
header provides the brand and full version information for each brand associated with the browser, in a comma-separated list.
The header may include "fake" brands in any position and with any name. This is a feature designed to prevent servers from rejecting unknown user agents outright, forcing user agents to lie about their brand identity.
Note: This is similar to Sec-CH-UA
, but includes the full version number instead of the significant version number for each brand.

<brand>
-
A brand associated with the user agent, like "Chromium", "Google Chrome". This may be an intentionally incorrect brand like
" Not A;Brand"
or"(Not(A:Brand"
(the actual value is expected change over time and be unpredictable). <full version>

Description
A brand is a commercial name for the user agent like: Chromium, Opera, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
A user agent might have several associated brands.
For example, Opera, Chrome, and Edge are all based on Chromium, and will provide both brands in the Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
header.
The header allows the server to customize its response based on both shared brands and on particular customizations in their specific respective builds.
Examples
Using Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
A server requests the Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
header by including the Accept-CH
in a response to any request from the client, using the name of the desired header as a token:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Accept-CH: Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
The client may choose to provide the hint, and add the Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List
header to subsequent requests, as shown below:
GET /my/page HTTP/1.1
Host: example.site
Sec-CH-UA: " Not A;Brand";v="99", "Chromium";v="98", "Google Chrome";v="98"
Sec-CH-UA-Mobile: ?0
Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List: " Not A;Brand";v="99.0.0.0", "Chromium";v="98.0.4750.0", "Google Chrome";v="98.0.4750.0"
