#152Love it!

#153That's an interesting Firefox logo you're displaying. Rather than featuring the generic "Planet Mozilla" globe, it appears to be using a map of Earth centered on Japan. The fox looks a bit sleeker as well. For comparison, here's the official Firefox branding page: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/identity/
I never noticed that :) Here is the icon set (free for commercial use) - http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Abrowsers
the official icons for all the browsers have licenses that allow them to be used anywhere, as long as they are only used to refer only to their official product (i.e. you can use the firefox logo anywhere you want, as long as you only use it to mean firefox and not some other product)
IANAL, but i believe that creative reproductions like the ones you are using violate the trademark of the actual icon owner, and they certainly violate the branding guidelines of all the browsers in question.
Just use the official icons: it's clearer for your users, and it is what the browser vendors want you to do.

#154The screen size vs monitor size looks incorrect https://aboutmybrowser.com/3056072335 I'm browsing on a second monitor
It does the same thing for me - i'm browsing on my primary monitor, but it reports the resolution of my leftmost monitor. I'm guessing there isn't much that can be done other than file a bug report with whoever makes your browser.

#155Wow, 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.
You're right, it should be window size. Fixed it accordingly.

#156Nice, but it does not work very well for me (Opera on Mac). It reports the browser and OS correctly, but then it claims I do not have JavaScript enabled (which I do). Also when I click Contact support at the bottom, the page gets dimmed out as if for a dialog, but I see no actual dialog anywhere. So somewhere in your JS code there is a bug that makes it fail in Opera.

#157Is it possible to identify certain add-ons in firefox even if they aren't in the user agent string, or is that the only information you get from the client?
Would be cool if it could tell that I use pentadactyl, stylish, ad-block plus etc. etc.

Your design is definitely way better in my opinion; much easier to focus in on any specific information immediately (and with no scrolling required).
The only significant usability change I'd make to both sites would be have the one who wants to know the details send a link to a setter URL of a known key (e.g. '/set/foo') which would both display the information to the user and send the information to the server so that '/foo' now persistently displays the same information. That way, any potential user (say, an IT helpdesk person) doesn't require any expectations of the person whose details they want other than the ability to click a link.

#160Suggestion: Check the version against the latest release and kindly notify visitors if a newer release is available. Provide the link to make it easy to upgrade.
I've often had family and friends ask me why some site or service doesn't work but they don't know if their browsers are up to date. I would love to start by directing them to a site like this and telling them to upgrade if they aren't using the latest version of their browser.
