What is the What Is My Browser?

What is my browser is a detector that tells you exactly what your browser reports about itself: the browser name and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, viewport size, language, cookie support and more — all shown as clear cards the moment the page loads.

Every website you visit sees this information; it’s how pages adapt to your phone or desktop, pick a language, and decide which features to enable. This free tool simply surfaces it back to you in plain English, parsing the cryptic user-agent string into ‘Chrome 131 on Windows 11’ style facts, and adding live readings like your current viewport size, pixel ratio, touch support and online status.

It runs entirely in your browser with no signup: detection uses only built-in browser APIs, nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is stored. The most common use is practical — answering support’s ‘what browser are you on?’ — followed by developers and testers documenting environments, and the simply curious discovering what their browser broadcasts to the world.

How to use the What Is My Browser

  1. Open the page — your browser, OS, device type and screen details are detected automatically.
  2. Read the cards: browser name and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, language and more.
  3. Press Re-detect if you changed something (like resizing the window or toggling a VPN) and want fresh readings.
  4. Copy any detail with one click when a support form asks for your browser or OS version.

What Is My Browser use cases

Answering support questions

When support asks ‘which browser and version are you using?’, one glance gives the exact answer instead of digging through settings menus.

Developers debugging issues

Developers check OS, viewport, touch support and language to reproduce bugs exactly as a user experienced them.

QA and compatibility testing

QA testers record the browser matrix for each test pass — browser, OS and screen size in one copyable place.

Understanding your digital fingerprint

Curious users see exactly what information their browser broadcasts to every website they visit.

Tips

  • Support agents ask for browser + version first — this page gives you the exact string to paste into a ticket.
  • Your user agent string is the raw identifier sites see; the parsed cards translate it into plain English.
  • Screen resolution and viewport differ on zoomed pages — reset zoom to 100% for the true numbers.
  • If a site misbehaves only in one browser, these cards make an A/B comparison across browsers trivial.

Frequently asked questions

What details does it detect?
Browser name and version, operating system, device type (desktop/mobile/tablet), screen resolution, viewport size, device pixel ratio, language, cookie support, online status, touch support, and the raw user agent string.
How does detection work?
Your browser exposes it through standard web APIs and the user agent string sent to every site. The tool parses that string and queries screen, navigator and window properties — all locally, nothing transmitted.
Can the results be wrong?
The user agent is what sites see, and it can be spoofed by extensions or dev tools. The parsed cards reflect what your browser claims, which matches what websites will see — that's usually what matters for support and testing.
Is my browser data sent anywhere?
Nothing. Detection runs in your browser's memory; no detail is uploaded, stored or logged by us.
Do the readings update live?
The user agent string is static text, but live values like viewport size and online status change as you resize or disconnect. Press Re-detect for fresh readings.
Is the browser detector free?
Yes — free, unlimited, no signup. Check any browser on any device.
Does it work on mobile browsers?
Yes — it's one of the best uses. Open it on your phone to get the exact mobile browser, OS and screen details for a support ticket.
