As geeks, we tend to forget sometimes how trivial questions such as "What browser are you using" leave some users completely stumped. Heck, there may be so many people who do not…

nice one. simple but very useful when you are dealing with non-tech users.

Great idea. I lost the count to the number of times I had to ask this question. This will really help a lot.

Another great tool that does this is http://supportdetails.com/ I like how aboutmybrowser allows you to grab a quick link to share.

I think if you add a "share via e-mail" feature right underneath it, it would be awesome.

Great work. It works well, it identified everything correctly, including the Windows Version (8).

It accurately detected that I'm running Safari on OS/2. Pretty great! https://aboutmybrowser.com/4004112543 (Actually, Chrome os iOS, but close enough.)

With Maxthon I get "We're sorry, but something went wrong" (https://aboutmybrowser.com/398693348) Also, why are you using (ugly) unofficial icons for some of the browsers (Opera…

For me, this site is currently quite useless. It merely shows: "We're sorry, but something went wrong." Is it a bug in the browser recognition, or is the site simply down due to…

lynx -dump http://aboutmybrowser.com We're sorry, but something went wrong. Really, guys? It's mothereffing lynx!

If I visit with an odd User Agent I get a server error. https://aboutmybrowser.com/47523742 is an example where I used User Agent Switcher in Firefox with the UA string ```…

Windows 8 (rtm) is detected as "Windows NT" https://aboutmybrowser.com/647576433

Latest (regular desktop) Chrome on Windows 8 gets reported as Windows NT. I mean.. Sure there's probably quite a bit of remnants from the Windows NT codebase here and there, but…

Any modern version of Windows will show up here as "Windows NT". I think you should be able to determine the correct version through the user agent string. "Windows NT 6.2" is…

The screen size vs monitor size looks incorrect https://aboutmybrowser.com/3056072335 I'm browsing on a second monitor

It looks like it detects the resolution of the primary display. I'm not sure if there's a way to pick the "right" display, though. ``` Screen Width 1440 Screen Height 900 Browser…

Might be a bug: window size is incorrect with my setup. AboutMyBrowser.com (correct): ``` Screen Width 2560 Screen Height 1440 Browser Width 1932 Browser Height 1271 Browser Top…

You don't make a great use of screen space. On my laptop, the very bottom thing on the page I can see is a giant 'chrome' logo. I initially assumed all you were doing is…

Too much scrolling for the amount of information given, otherwise, good job!

It is identifying both chromium and firefox as chrome on Linux. The User Agent String looks suspicious too.. http://imgur.com/eYdlo,XjsOH EDIT: I am on ArchLinux if that helps.

It doesn't differentiate between the various versions of chrome. Chromium, for example has no Google nonsense in it.

I don't know how easy it is (or if it's even possible) but it would be really useful to detect what add-ons are enabled. Things like Adblock, Flashblock, cause a lot of trouble…

I find it interesting that Flash is detected even with FlashBlock enabled. It seems that the add-on only prevents its display.

Is it possible to identify certain add-ons in firefox even if they aren't in the user agent string, or is that the only information you get from the client? Would be cool if it…

Seems nice. A couple of things: 1) It would be cool if it gets shorter urls so it would be usable on phone. 2) It detects Safari on Linux for me. Im using Konqueror.…

Let me make a suggestion: for reporting, return a URL with a set of word codes rather than numbers and letters. https://aboutmybrowser.com/dog_walrus_banana_door If you figure…

Can you internationalize the texts?

Suggestion: Check the version against the latest release and kindly notify visitors if a newer release is available. Provide the link to make it easy to upgrade. I've often had…

Cool. How about adding a way to automatically fire off a web hook after sniffing the information. As in: "Thanks for reporting the issue. Would you mind following this link so…

I think if you add a "share via e-mail" feature right underneath it, it would be awesome.

Not a criticism at all but what is the point of this? This is a genuine question, I have no idea why this seems important/interesting enough to be No 1 on HN. What am I missing?

A couple of things: I have cookies and javascript turned off in Chrome on Android. This apparently is too much to handle as I keep getting the standard rails request failure…

There's also supportdetails.com which has a feature to let you customise [1] the recipient email etc so people can easily forward the details through to you. [1]…

I use http://supportdetails.com/ . It's solved this problem for me since atleast the last 4 years.

http://supportdetails.com/ still more useful, but nice work.

Wow, talk about synchronicity... I put up our site doing the exact same thing last night! Design-wise you're definitely ahead, however. :-) Our version is at…

http://www.whatismybrowser.com/ is nicer looking.

Can you add the info about Flash Player too? Like this: http://playerversion.com/

Woefully incomplete - you aren't even exploring navigator.plugins, installed fonts, DOM storage settings, etc. https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php?action=log&js=yes
