A user-agent string condenses your browser’s name, version, operating system, and device class into one HTTP header shipped with every web request. Front-end engineers rely on these identifiers to negotiate feature support, deploy polyfills, and compile aggregate usage statistics that steer compatibility budgets across an ever-shifting landscape of devices and engines.
This tool parses that header with a fast, regex-driven library, then enriches the result with live screen resolution, language, and platform data from the browser runtime. The reactive engine instantly renders the combined profile as a tidy list, syntax-highlighted JSON, and copy-ready CSV, requiring no manual input or refresh whatsoever.
During cross-browser debugging you might paste the profile into a ticket to reproduce a rendering glitch, or confirm that enterprise clients still rely on legacy engines before retiring a costly shim. Do not rely on user-agent data alone to enforce authentication or security rules because spoofing and masking remain trivial tactics.
User-agent detection maps a free-form header string to structured fields including browser family, major version, operating system, device vendor, and rendering engine. The parser applies thousands of ordered regular-expression rules curated from vendor changelogs and community fingerprints. When merged with live navigator properties, the technique yields a comprehensive execution context that guides progressive enhancement, A/B experiments, performance budgets, and analytics segmentation. It avoids network calls and respects privacy by running entirely in the client.
User-Agent
header exposed by the runtime.navigator.language
, navigator.platform
, and screen
dimensions.Parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
Browser | Family and full version extracted from the header. |
Engine | Rendering engine that actually executes HTML, CSS, and JS. |
Operating System | Desktop or mobile OS name plus version. |
Device Type | Phone, tablet, console, smart-TV, or desktop. |
Resolution | Current screen width × height in CSS pixels. |
Language | Primary locale reported by the runtime. |
User-Agent | Raw header string displayed for copy or audit. |
The values above help decide whether to serve modern bundles, polyfilled fallbacks, or strict legacy builds.
Example header:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Parsing yields:
Browser: Chrome 125 · Engine: Blink 125 · OS: Windows 10 64-bit · Device: Desktop
Classification methods reflect RFC 7231 header semantics, W3C HTML 5.2 processing model notes, and published vendor compatibility matrices.
All parsing occurs locally; no data leaves the browser, aligning with GDPR and CCPA privacy principles.
Follow these steps to capture and share an exact browser profile.
No. Everything is parsed and rendered within your browser; nothing is transmitted to any server.
Some privacy tools randomise or truncate the header, which prevents accurate identification. Disable the masker and reload to verify.
Incognito modes modify storage but rarely alter the header itself. You should see the same profile unless an extension intervenes.
Yes. Use your developer tools to override the user-agent string, then refresh this page to view the simulated profile.
Copy the CSV or JSON output and paste it into issue trackers, chat threads, or email; the structure remains intact.
