About What Is My Browser Tool

Published: Last Updated:
💡 Quick Definition

A browser detector reads the User-Agent string sent by your browser and parses it to identify the browser name (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), version number, and operating system.

Overview: What is What Is My Browser?

Your browser is detected from the User-Agent string automatically sent with every HTTP request. It reveals the browser name, version, and operating system without any input from you.

What Is My Browser instantly identifies your current web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Opera, or other — along with its version number and operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android). This is useful for debugging web compatibility issues or verifying browser support before using certain web features.

Key Features

  • Detects browser name and exact version number.
  • Identifies operating system and version.
  • Shows the raw User-Agent string.
  • Detects mobile, tablet, or desktop device type.
  • No installation or permission required.

How to Use the Tool

  1. Simply open the page — your browser is detected automatically.
  2. Browser name, version, OS, and user agent are displayed instantly.
  3. Share or copy the user agent string for support tickets.

Core Benefits

  • Know if your browser is outdated and needs updating.
  • Share your browser info with IT support when reporting a web issue.
  • Verify browser compatibility before using web APIs.

Common Use Cases

  • A developer testing which browser a user is on to reproduce a reported bug.
  • Checking if a corporate or school computer runs an outdated browser.
  • Providing browser details in a support ticket or form.
  • Testing browser detection logic for a web application.

Pro Tips

  • Chrome on iOS reports as Safari in the user agent — Apple requires all iOS browsers to use the WebKit engine.
  • Brave browser reports itself as Chrome in the user agent to avoid fingerprinting.
  • Always update your browser — older browsers miss security patches and web feature support.
