It is identifying both chromium and firefox as chrome on Linux. The User Agent String looks suspicious too..

EDIT: I am on ArchLinux if that helps.

Oddly enough, it is identifying Firefox 15 and Chrome 21 correctly on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm on an open wifi in a cafe.

Yeah, Chromium on OS X is also getting identified as Chrome.
