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 example)? :)
Same for stock JB browser.

#102Wow, 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.browser-details.com . When you sign up you get your own subdomain - or you define a CNAME under your own domain [premium]. You can upload your logo, define a list of recipients, and your clients can send the browser details directly to one of those r…
Your "Available size" is reporting 1680x1022 for me, I suspect it is supposed to be window size, which is actually 1006x929 as reported by OP's page.

#103A 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 page.
I switched to the default android browser where I run JavaScript and accept cookies and was told I was running Chrome on Linux.
I then went back to Chrome and hit "request desktop site" which just changes the user agent string and was told I had Chrome on Linux. But also was told that I needed to turn on JavaScript to see the rest of the details. Why? It's just text.

#104> We're sorry, but something went wrong. Iceweasel 15 (rebadged Firefox) on Linux.
Oops :( Can you please pass on the url string you got? (That has all your info)
Here are a few more with that message:
Seamonkey 2.3.3 on Linux: https://aboutmybrowser.com/1328892199
Konqueror 3.5.5 on Linux (yes, this is ancient): https://aboutmybrowser.com/4093315824

#105I noticed that it's not at all fazed by user agent spoofing. Nice.

Here are the three URLs respectively:
https://aboutmybrowser.com/3112024109 https://aboutmybrowser.com/2548601500 https://aboutmybrowser.com/3662672473
I see now that some of the extra info is only discernable via JavaScript. But surely the info about whether JavaScript and cookies are enabled could be shown either way?

#107There'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] http://supportdetails.com/?sender_name=example&sender=em...
Yep. That one looks good and showed up in our research as well. In aboutmybrowser, we generate a custom url for you so you can copy the url and share your info easily. No need to copy all the text or enter your email to share the info. Just better to protect your privacy and anonymity. More of the similar products out there focus on users who want to find out their info (basically savvy users). This is for support ag…
>No need to copy all the text or enter your email to share the info. //
So a support provider has to send the user to your site. The user then has to copy the URL, paste it in to a message, lookup the person making the request for the details and forward them. The requester has to then go to your site and enter the URL in order to retrieve the details.
Compared with the support supplier sending an email with a link to http://supportdetails.com/?sender_name=Example&sender=em... and the user clicking "send details" and the requester getting the details in their email.
All to protect the company offering the service from getting your email address?

#109You 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 displaying the icon of my web-browser. 2/3 of the screen height is basically empty, apart from one tiny text box.

#110Please could you make it so it uses normal scrollbars? Fucking with the scrollbars often breaks stuff.
