Yes, Midori expands the User-Agent because many websites (wrongly)
provide content based on User-Agent sniffing.  I talked to Midori devs
and they are not willing to change the User-Agent string.

The Chrome version is still 18 because nobody cared to update it.  The
string doesn't update itself, it depends on someone to notice that there
has been a new Chrome/Chromium release and update it by hand.  Which is
what I am planning to do, by the way.
