What is a browser user agent?

A user agent is a string of text that your browser sends with every web request, identifying the browser, its version, the operating system, and the rendering engine. Web servers use this information to serve optimised content for your specific browser and device.

The user agent string typically includes the browser name and version, the operating system name and version, and the rendering engine (Blink, Gecko, or WebKit). For example, a Chrome user agent might look like: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Major browser engines

  • Blink — used by Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and most Chromium-based browsers
  • Gecko — used by Firefox and Firefox-based browsers
  • WebKit — used by Safari on macOS and iOS

Why keep your browser updated?

Keeping your browser updated is one of the most important steps you can take for online security. Browser updates fix security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious websites, add support for new web standards, improve performance and stability, and often include enhanced privacy features.

Major browsers release security updates frequently — Chrome and Edge update approximately every 4 weeks, Firefox every 4 weeks, and Safari updates are tied to macOS and iOS releases.

  • Apple Safari — ~19% global market share
  • Microsoft Edge — ~5% global market share
  • Mozilla Firefox — ~3% global market share

Frequently Asked Questions about Browsers

What browser am I using right now?
Your current browser name and version are shown at the top of this page in the live results card. The detection is performed using your browser's user agent string.
Why does my browser show as "Unknown"?
Some browsers, privacy extensions, or custom configurations may modify or spoof the user agent string, making it impossible to accurately identify the browser. If you see "Unknown", you may be using a browser with a non-standard user agent.
What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
Do Not Track is a browser setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track your browsing activity. However, there is no legal requirement for websites to honour this signal, and many do not. You can enable it in your browser's privacy settings.
Does SnoopMy send my user agent to a server?
No. Browser detection on SnoopMy is performed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Your user agent string is never sent to our servers.
