There is no difference between String and string or STRING. Pascal is not case sensitive.
ustring is probably a user defined string type coming from a C or c++ translation and likely to mean the Pascal widestring type. Can you show us where you found ustring?

Without knowing fpcef3, I think it is just some alias of normal string types depending on ifdef, to simplify versioning. (Delphi-old, delphi-unicode and FPC/Lazarus)

ustring is e.g used here:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/fpCEF3
It is declared as:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
Type
{$IFDEF CEF_STRING_TYPE_UTF8}
ustring
=
UTF8String
;
{$ELSE}
ustring
=
UnicodeString
;
{$ENDIF}
I wonder if the declarations are correct. E.g. imho it should be widestring, not unicodestring: CEF has no knowledge about refcounted strings and this can cause problems even if they are assignment compatible.
That said: I use this package myself and it is stable.
