Description
Parse a user-agent probe into browser family, engine, operating system, and device type.
Browser Info Checker: Parse a user-agent probe into browser family, engine, operating system, and device type.
When to use Browser Info
Use this check to inspect a browser, device, network, permission, media, or input capability directly in the current runtime before relying on it in another workflow.
- Browser probe
- User-agent probe supplied by the surface.
How Browser Info works
Parse a user-agent probe into browser family, engine, operating system, and device type. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Browser family
- Identified browser family.
- Browser version
- Browser major version digits when detected.
- Engine
- Rendering engine behind the browser.
- Operating system
- Operating system name from the user agent.
- OS version
- Operating system version from the user agent.
- Device type
- Best-effort device class for the session.
Limitations and assumptions
- Results describe the current browser session and can change with permissions, privacy controls, hardware, drivers, network path, power state, or browser updates. Unsupported or withheld information is not proof that the underlying capability is absent.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Repeat the check in the browser and device that will actually be used, then confirm important behavior with the relevant operating-system or network diagnostics. Avoid granting permissions that are unnecessary for the test.
