I am using multiple browsers on iOS and I keep getting this message that my browser is no longer supported on multiple websites including the official DuckDuckGo app. The only browser that seems unaffected is Safari, whats going on here? I am running all the latest updates.

User agent failure. I'm getting similar with Safari attempting to load Youtube. It just loads this:

No idea how to fix other than wait for the next OS update. Or use Chrome.

Ironically Duck Duck Go doesn't work on my default Samsung browser on my old 2012 Galaxy Tabs, but the equally dated version of Chrome works fine. Same for most sites, Samsung's old browser complains about unable to load secure site, but same year of Chrome works fine. It's definitely a user-agent search string failing due to an 'unknown' user agent, most likely part of the website admin's configuration.

@MacBH928 This is very odd I would like to know what sites seem to be causing this message?

Atleast Twitter and YouTube do.

I am thinking there is 2 version of Safari/webkit , those apps that implement the older version/browser are getting this message that the browser is unsupported and those who implement the newer one do not like Safari itself.

The question is, if true, why don't all developers implement the new browser version?
