Browsers we detect
This tool identifies all major browsers — including Brave, which most tools incorrectly report as Chrome. Detection is based on multiple browser signals, not just the user agent string.
* Chromium-based browsers like Comet and Arc intentionally appear as Chrome at the browser level. This is by design — no tool can distinguish them from Chrome without access to internal browser APIs.
Why does it matter which browser I use?
Your browser affects how websites look, how fast they load, and how secure your connection is. Outdated browsers miss security patches that protect you from malware and data theft. Running the latest version takes 30 seconds and makes a real difference.
Different browsers also have different privacy defaults. Brave blocks ads and trackers by default. Firefox offers strong privacy extensions. Chrome prioritises speed and Google integration. Safari is optimised for Apple devices.
What browser am I using?
The result above shows your exact browser name and version. The most popular browsers are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Brave.
How do I check my browser version?
The easiest way is this tool — it shows your version instantly. You can also find it in your browser menu under "Help" → "About". On mobile, check your app store for available updates.
Why does Perplexity Comet show as Chrome?
Comet is built on Chromium — the same open-source engine that powers Chrome. Perplexity deliberately designed it to appear as a standard Chrome browser at the network and browser level. This is intentional: it's why Amazon filed a lawsuit against Perplexity in 2025, arguing that Comet evaded detection while shopping on users' behalf. No browser detection tool can reliably identify Comet — or any future AI browser built on Chromium — without internal browser APIs that Perplexity has not made public.
Why does Brave show as Chrome on other sites?
Brave is built on Chromium — the same open-source engine as Chrome. Most tools only read the engine name and assume it's Chrome. This tool detects Brave specifically by checking additional browser properties.
Is my browser up to date?
This tool compares your version against the latest known release. If you see a warning, visit your browser's official website or update it through your device's app store.
Does this tool collect my data?
No. All detection runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server. Your browser information never leaves your device.
