About the WhatIsMyBrowser.com Project

When Web Developers or I.T. Support are helping their customers, staff, and clients with technical problems, the first thing we need to know is which web browser they are using. Knowing this top-line information helps to reproduce the issues, and narrow down possible causes. But it's hard to help a non-technical person figure out exactly what browser they're using and what settings they have, so whatismybrowser.com gives them this information quickly, simply and clearly, making your job of helping your customers or clients easier.

This site aims to be as 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.

The WhatIsMyBrowser.com Mission statement
