Liebao and CM Browser are probably the same

[Findus23]

When updating the icons, I noticed that I already had an icon for a Cheetah Mobile browser. I don't exactly know what Liebao is, but the website is mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CM_Browser And on the website I can also see the CM logo.

So I think these are just different names for similar projects. Should I just use the same icon for both, or should we merge them in Device Detector?

Kingsoft, the creator of Liebao, is since a merger in 2010 the parent company of Cheetah Mobile, the creator of the CM Browser. Maybe Liebao is an old name of the CM Browser. see here

Thanks @Findus23 for pointing that out. Will remove Liebao in favor of CM Browser

[mimmi20]

@sgiehl If you do that, you should remove the other browsers, that changed their name, too (like CoolNovo/ChromePlus or Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox). I'm sure there are more.

@mimmi20 I searched a bit. And it seems Liebao is/was another name for Cheetah Browser. See https://malwaretips.com/threads/liebao-cheetah-browser.38194/ The Mobile version of that browser seems to be the CM Browser. As Cheetah is still downloadable I will simply change it to that name

@Findus23 guess you can then simply use the same icon for Cheetah Browser and CM Browser.

I just noticed that the same is true for the LieBaoFast browser. (I can't find anything about this variant on the internet)

I want to give an update on LieBao/Cheetah issue. What I did:

1. I entered on Google Translate, LieBao, which Google detected as Chinese, and it translated to Cheetah. So the conclusion is that they use different marketing names for Chinese / International.
2. I have installed both desktop versions I could find on https://www.liebao.cn/. The previous version is based on Chrome 57 and the latest on Chrome 63.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.98 Safari/537.36 LBBROWSER
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.26 Safari/537.36 Core/1.63.5977.400 LBBROWSER/10.1.3752.400

3. I have installed the mobile version, called CM Browser from Play Store, and the user-agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; Zun X Build/MRA58K; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/44.0.2403.119 Mobile Safari/537.36 ACHEETAHI/1
4. Icon is the same for all browsers.

All 3 user-agents are detected, but I have a few improvement ideas:

1. Desktop versions are both called Cheetah Security Browser (changelog here http://bbs.duba.net/thread-4191272467-1-1.html and the filename is KSbrowser_home_2019051001.exe, S comes from Security). A rename from Cheetah Browser to Cheetah Security Browser should be done.
2. LBBROWSER should only have deviceName set to desktop, regarding of what other fragments of the user-agent might say.
3. ACHEETAHI should have deviceName set to smartphone, if the other fragments can't return this. CE should be added to $mobileOnlyBrowsers list.
4. Since both versions are based on Chrome, LB and CE should be added to $browserFamilies['Chrome'].

Regarding LieBao Fast icon:

I have searched for LieBao Fast on baidu.com and this is the second result, http://m.liebao.cn/fast/fe/welcome/page.html. Sadly the page is broken. What I think is that LieBao Fast was a light previous version of CM Browser. My suggestion is to add the same icon of CM Browser.
