Browser type
The ‘Browser type’ dimension lists the organizations who made the browser that the visitor uses. This dimension is useful when you want to see which overarching browsers visitors use. It provides value over the ‘Browsers’ dimension in that it does not list different versions of the same browser as separate dimension items.
Populate this dimension with data
Adobe derives this dimension from the User-Agent HTTP header, matching it against an internal lookup table that Adobe maintains in partnership with DeviceAtlas. There is no variable to set.
