What Is My User Agent

About This Tool

So, you’re wondering what your user agent is, huh? Honestly, it’s not as mysterious as it sounds. Your user agent is basically a little string of text your browser sends out every time it talks to a website. Think of it like a name tag—except instead of “Hi, I’m Sarah,” it says something like “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36…” and goes on for a while. Yeah, it’s a mouthful.

Websites use this info to figure out what browser you’re using, what operating system you’re on, and sometimes even what device you’ve got. It helps them serve up the right version of a page—like making sure you don’t get the mobile site when you’re on a desktop. This tool just grabs that string and shows it to you in plain English. No fluff. No tracking. Just your user agent, right there on the screen.

FAQ

Q: Can websites see my user agent?
A: Yep. Every time you load a page, your browser sends it along. It’s part of the normal request. So yes, sites can see it—but it doesn’t give away personal info like your name or location. Just your browser and system details.

Q: Can I change my user agent?
A: Technically, yes. Some browsers let you spoof it with extensions or dev tools. But most people don’t need to. And honestly, messing with it can sometimes break sites that rely on accurate info. So unless you’ve got a good reason, probably best to leave it alone.
