What’s My Browser? How to Find and Share Your Browser Info in Seconds
You’ve been asked “what browser are you using?” and you’re not sure how to answer. Here’s the fastest way to find out — and share the answer.
At some point, almost everyone gets asked this question. A website doesn’t load correctly. A support agent needs to reproduce your bug. A developer asks you to check something. And suddenly you need to know exactly what browser and version you’re running.
The problem is that most people don’t know. “Chrome” is a start, but “Chrome 124 on macOS 15.3 with a 1440x900 viewport” is what the person asking actually needs. Digging through menus to find your browser version, then typing it out manually, is tedious and error-prone.
That’s exactly what browser detection tools are for. You open a page, it reads your browser information automatically, and you share the result with a single click.
How to check what browser you’re using
There are two approaches: manual and automatic.
The manual way
In most browsers, you can go to Settings → About or type chrome://version in Chrome. This gives you the browser name and version number. But it doesn’t tell you your OS version, screen resolution, installed capabilities, or network details — and you have to copy it all by hand.
The fast way
Open BrowserSnap. Everything is detected instantly — browser, OS, screen size, network speed, hardware capabilities, and more. One click generates a shareable link you can paste into any support ticket, email, or chat.
What browser info can be detected?
Modern detection tools go far beyond just “Chrome 124.” Here’s what BrowserSnap reads from your browser automatically:
Browser & version
The exact browser name, version number, and rendering engine (Blink, Gecko, WebKit).
Operating system
OS name, version, and CPU architecture — whether you're on ARM or x86 matters for debugging.
Screen & viewport
Physical screen resolution, current browser window size, pixel ratio, and color depth.
Network
Connection type (WiFi, 4G, etc.), estimated bandwidth, and round-trip latency.
Hardware
CPU core count, GPU capabilities (WebGL/WebGPU), and touch screen support.
Capabilities
Whether your browser supports Service Workers, localStorage, cookies, and other web APIs.
Locale
Your timezone, language, and regional settings.
How to share your browser info
Once you’ve opened BrowserSnap, sharing takes three steps:
Open BrowserSnap
Visit browsersnap.app. Your info is detected instantly — no login, no setup.
Click "Share my info"
This creates a private snapshot with a unique link. Nothing is stored until you choose to share.
Send the link
Paste the link into your support ticket, email, or chat. The recipient sees a clean summary of your setup.
Links expire after 30 days and can be manually deleted at any time. No account needed.
Why not just take a screenshot?
Screenshots are better than nothing, but they have real problems for support workflows:
- They only show what’s visible on screen — not the full picture.
- Text in screenshots can’t be copied, searched, or processed automatically.
- Users often screenshot the wrong settings page.
- Image files are heavier to attach and slower to review than a clean text summary.
A shareable link solves all of this. The support agent gets structured, copyable data. The user doesn’t have to figure out where to find the information. Everyone saves time.
