Public bug reported:

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.
