Bug Description
This causes confusion and potential worry for the user as it's unclear that it was the Ubuntu web browser that made the connection to Google -- at first sight it seems like it might be a third party successfully logging into Google, as the Safari browser is not available on this platform. If an Ubuntu related browser ID was used this problem would be mitigated.
I received the email from Google after using the "GoogleDocs" desktop app on Ubuntu 15.10 to access the online Google Docs application suite.
