The title for an inline onebox is bad (not that I’m saying it’s our fault):

Do we need to update the browser version in the user agent our crawler is using? looks like we’re using Safari 14?
Visiting the URL manually in that Safari version:

We’re not consistent with user agents.
For the full onebox we use:
```plaintext
Discourse Forum Onebox v3.5.0.beta9-dev
```
and Spotify is fine with this and serves the full page:
```plaintext
○ → curl -s --user-agent 'Discourse Forum Onebox v3.5.0.beta9-dev' 'https://open.spotify.com/album/1nrWysWdrgPR0kBJ45z2aS?si=FurcwGpfSrWJBPGwKeCvDQ' | htmlq 'meta[property^="og:description"], meta[property^="og:site_name"], title'
The First Symphony - Album by Indecent | Spotify
```
but for the inline onebox we use:
```plaintext
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 Safari/605.1.15
```
So that’s ultimately why we’re getting different behaviour, though I would still ask why we don’t use the opengraph properties here? Spotify is still serving those up despite being an unsupported browser:
```plaintext
○ → curl -s --user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 Safari/605.1.15' 'https://open.spotify.com/album/1nrWysWdrgPR0kBJ45z2aS?si=FurcwGpfSrWJBPGwKeCvDQ' | htmlq 'meta[property^="og:description"], meta[property^="og:site_name"], title'
Unsupported browser
```
> **all properties**

Hmmm:

Because `` takes precedence over open graph in our implementation and we don’t want to hardcode the string “Unsupported browser”…
[FIX: update final destination to use more recent user agent by SamSaffron · Pull Request #34207 · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/34207) should fix this…
This feels way old though:
`DEFAULT_USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 Safari/605.1.15"`

hmmm… now spotify give us the title “spotify” :slight_smile: we are going to need custom “spotify” code :frowning: if we want to get the album name.
