WhatIsMyBrowser.com gives anyone who visits a clear and easy to understand read-out of the technical specifications of their web browser, operating system, and device that they're currently using.
Discovering all of the arcane technical details about your web browser, settings, device - and so on - is one of the first steps in solving technical problems.
If someone is having a technical problem, having a detailed assessment of those technical details helps Software Developers and Tech Support to reproduce the issues and narrow down possible causes. But it's hard for a non-technical person to figure out all of these tricky technical details, so whatismybrowser.com gives them this information quickly, simply and clearly, making the job of helping your customers or clients easier.
The site also contains lots of guides to help you change your settings and understand things. There's also helpful tools, and other information here too.
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.
WhatIsMyBrowser.com was founded by Brett Harris in 2010.
