According to the UserAgentString.com website, my user agent string is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Does this mean that I'm using Internet Explorer 11 with an Internet Explorer 7 user agent? UserAgentString.com states that "Trident" is the layout engine for Internet Explorer.

A browser's User-Agent string (UA) helps identify which browser is being used, what version, and on which operating system. When feature detection APIs are not available, use the UA to customize behavior or content to specific browser versions.
A user agent is any software that retrieves and presents Web content for end users or is implemented using Web technologies. User agents include Web browsers, media players, and plug-ins that help in retrieving, rendering and interacting with Web content.
A user agent (short: UA) is software that communicates with servers in a network. An example would be a web browser that retrieves a web page from a server on the internet and displays it. The user agent acts as a mediator between the user and the web server just like a human agent.
It means that the version of IE is 11 and the version of Trident is 7.
For each IE version since at least IE 8, the Trident version has been the IE version - 4. So IE 8 had Trident/4.0.
