User Browser Reports

Updated at: Jul 22, 2022

How does it work?

Every time someone visits WhatIsMyBrowser's "My Browser" page, a unique url code is created and displayed directly under the main header.

Users are encouraged to share this link with you, so that you can quickly see their set up.

Security and Privacy

Security and privacy are two fundamentals of whatismybrowser.com.

IP Addresses

Because many users Tweet or Facebook these unique URLs for everyone to see, we were concerned that this would lead to malicious parties being able to link a user's Twitter or Facebook account to their IP address.

As such; for now we only display the first two sections of a user's IP address. We hope this is enough information to give an idea of where they are coming from (ie your Corporate IP address, a home account etc) but not enough to identify these users in log files or for directed attacks.

Additionally, for very similar reasons we don't show any local ip addresses.

Privacy and Tracking

This tool is provided for the benefit of you and your customers; we won't use it for tracking or profiling you and we won't sell it or do anything uncool like that. At some point we might look at data in aggregate (ie to compare how many people do or don't have JavaScript enabled), but nothing linked to you personally.

We give more detail on this in our terms and conditions, so if you're concerned then please check it out and let us know what you think.

Comments, questions?

Constructive feedback on this system is always welcome. If you have any ideas for additions or changes, we'd love to hear about it.
