Why Chrome has Mozilla in its user agent?

I'm new to headers and user-agent stuff. I'm using a request lib with python to make a POST operation to a website. I have noticed that the user agent for Chrome is like "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36" as can be checked here.

It doesn't only contain "Mozilla" but also "Safari". Why is that and what does it mean?

Everyone has Mozilla. – Daniel B – 2016-10-12T08:32:27.303

I don't get it. Do you mean that Mozilla is the core for each browser? Please clarify. – AhmedWas – 2016-10-12T08:33:32.393

From Why do all browsers' user agents start with “Mozilla/”?: It's a long and sad story.
