Depending on the needs and aesthetic views, Internet users choose a browser "for themselves" and customize its functionality to their liking. Among the many web browsers for Windows and Mac, there are leaders who are easy to identify.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to find out the name of the browser is by the shortcut. Right-click on it and select Properties from the context menu. In the properties window that appears, go to the "General" tab. The full name of the web browser will be displayed in the Description field.
Step 2
Notable web browser leaders include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera Software, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Netscape. The Internet Explorer icon is a blue “e” with an orbit around it. The classic Opera icon is a red letter “O”. The Safari shortcut is a blue compass icon. The Firefox icon is a sleeping fox enveloping the planet. Chrome is a multicolored ball - in the classic assembly, green-red-yellow with a blue center, in the Chrominum assemblies, the color can be varied. And finally, Netscape - the letter “N” in a circle.
Step 3
You can also find out information about the browser, including the manufacturer and software version, programmatically, i.e. directly in your web browser. To do this, find the item in the "Information" or "About" menu. It can also be a gear or wrench icon. Click on this item and in the drop-down context menu you will probably see the item "About Google Chrome", "Information about Opera" or "About the program". Even from the name of the item, you can often understand in which browser environment you are working. If you click on an item, you can see detailed information about the assembly and its version, as well as other technical materials, such as copyright or the text of the license agreement.
Step 4
You can also find out the installed web browser via the Internet. To do this, in the browser you are interested in, go to the site https://2ip.ru/. On the home page, you will find out various information about your computer, including the name of the currently running web browser.
