About the WhatIsMyBrowser.com Project

Updated at: Jun 25, 2024

When Web Developers or I.T. Support help their customers or staff with I.T. problems, the first thing they need to know is all the technical details for the person with the problem, including things like which web browser, version number, operating system, and various other settings. Knowing this top-line information helps to reproduce the issues and narrow down possible causes. But it's hard for a non-technical person to figure out all of these arcane technical details, so whatismybrowser.com gives them this information quickly, simply and clearly, making the job of helping your customers or clients easier.

This site aims to be straightforward and user friendly for non technical users, extensive in its detection, and to still provide the extended information for advanced users who need it.
