1199477 - Incorrect Browser Name in Compatibility Data

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: BrowserCompat, defect)

Description

[jmedley]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
The browser named 'Chrome Mobile' should be removed form the compatibility data. http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/5

What problems would this solve?
===============================
'Chrome Mobile' is a meaningless label. Android and iOS use different rendering engines for mobile.

Who would use this?
===================
n/a

What would users see?
=====================
n/a

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
n/a

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
As a separate action item, me or one of the other Chrome writers need to update the Chrome Page (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Google_Chrome) to reflect that Chrome on iOS shares its rendering engine with the platform.

"Chrome Mobile" was deleted on 2015-08-28 [1].  "Chrome" is now "Chrome for Desktop" [2], joining "Chrome for Android" [3].  

Compatibility data for browsers on iOS will be collected under "Safari for iOS" [4] for now.  The Chrome page on MDN [5] includes the phrase "Note that the iOS version of Chrome uses that platform's rendering engine, not Blink.".
