Please could you make it so it uses normal scrollbars? Fucking with the scrollbars often breaks stuff.
We are using normal scrollbars. Can you post a screenshot?

#112It doesn't differentiate between the various versions of chrome. Chromium, for example has no Google nonsense in it.

#113I had to send five "what browser are you using" e-mails just last Friday. And people never send the OS when we ask. Thank you, thank you for making this.

#114Latest (regular desktop) Chrome on Windows 8 gets reported as Windows NT.
I mean.. Sure there's probably quite a bit of remnants from the Windows NT codebase here and there, but it's probably not very useful for reporting to support etc.

#116It looks like it detects the resolution of the primary display. I'm not sure if there's a way to pick the "right" display, though. Screen Width 1440 Screen Height 900 Browser Width 2560 Browser Height 1368
For Firefox on OS X, at least, it seems to be reporting the resolution of the display which the window is mostly on.
I think this corresponds to the display which holds the backing store for the window, but I'm not sure -- if you drag a window between a HiDPI display and a normal display, for example, it's rendered as a HiDPI window if it's mostly on the HiDPI display, and vice versa.
I agree that I don't know if it's possible to do the "right" thing, or even exactly what the "right" thing would be.

#118Can you add the info about Flash Player too? Like this: http://playerversion.com/

One thing that has become standard practice for me is to have any "contact us" forms or error reporting pages automatically include all of this information when sending messages. I also generally record persist the browser information on important "events" such as registration and login, so I can refer to it if I need it later.
You don't need it most of the time, but it saves so much time to not have to bother asking for it.

#120I don't know how easy it is (or if it's even possible) but it would be really useful to detect what add-ons are enabled. Things like Adblock, Flashblock, cause a lot of trouble and some users don't even know that they have them installed. I also wonder whether it's possible to detect whether Flash is actually enabled . I disable the Flash plugin on Chrome by default, but tools like this generally don't pick up on tha…

You should be able to try to actually do something with a tiny embedded flash application and have that flip a "yes, flash is really on" bit.
