What Is the Browser Info Tool?
The Browser Info tool shows the technical details your browser reports about your device and setup: your operating system, your browser language, whether cookies and JavaScript are enabled, and your full user agent string. Websites read this same information every time you visit them, so the tool is a quick way to see exactly what your browser is telling the web.
Use it when a support agent asks for your browser details, when a website behaves differently on one device than another, or when you want to check that cookies or JavaScript are actually turned on.
How to Use the Browser Info Tool
- Open the Browser Info tool on this page.
- The tool reads your browser details automatically. You do not need to enter anything.
- Read the values shown: Operating System, Language, Cookies, JavaScript, and User Agent.
- Copy the User Agent line if a support agent or developer asks for it, because it packs the browser name, version, and operating system into one string.
- Reload the page if you changed a browser setting and want to check the new values.
Worked Example
On a typical Windows laptop running Chrome, the tool might show: Operating System: Windows, Language: en-US, Cookies: Enabled, and JavaScript: Enabled. The User Agent line would read something like: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36. The first part, Mozilla/5.0, is a historical label nearly every browser sends. The Windows NT 10.0 part identifies the operating system, and Chrome/120.0.0.0 gives the browser name and version. On a phone, the same page would instead show the phone operating system and a mobile browser version. Your exact values depend on your own device and browser.
Limitations
- The tool only reports what your browser chooses to reveal. It cannot detect your real location, your name, or details your browser hides.
- User agent strings can be spoofed by browser extensions or settings, so they are not proof of which browser is in use.
- The tool shows the current tab’s browser state. Values may differ in another browser, a private window, or on another device.
- It does not diagnose website bugs. It gives support staff the facts they need to reproduce a problem, but not the fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Browser Info tool send my data anywhere?
No. The details are read from your browser and displayed on the page. The tool does not upload them or store them.
Why does my user agent say Mozilla when I use Chrome?
Almost all browsers include Mozilla/5.0 at the start of the user agent string for compatibility with old websites. Look further along the string for the real browser name and version, such as Chrome/120.0.0.0.
What if Cookies or JavaScript shows as disabled?
Some sites will not work correctly without them. Check your browser settings or extensions, enable cookies and JavaScript, then reload the page to confirm the new values.
Is the Browser Info tool free?
Yes. It runs in your browser and is free to use whenever you need to check or share your browser details.
