          If you list all of window.navigator's properties using



          console.log(navigator);


          You'll see something like this



          # platform = Win32
          # appCodeName = Mozilla
          # appName = Netscape
          # appVersion = 5.0 (Windows; en-US)
          # language = en-US
          # mimeTypes = [object MimeTypeArray]
          # oscpu = Windows NT 5.1
          # vendor = Firefox
          # vendorSub = 1.0.7
          # product = Gecko
          # productSub = 20050915
          # plugins = [object PluginArray]
          # securityPolicy =
          # userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
          # cookieEnabled = true
          # javaEnabled = function javaEnabled() { [native code] }
          # taintEnabled = function taintEnabled() { [native code] }
          # preference = function preference() { [native code] }


          Note that oscpu attribute gives you the Windows version. Also, you should know that:



          'Windows 3.11' => 'Win16',
          'Windows 95' => '(Windows 95)|(Win95)|(Windows_95)',
          'Windows 98' => '(Windows 98)|(Win98)',
          'Windows 2000' => '(Windows NT 5.0)|(Windows 2000)',
          'Windows XP' => '(Windows NT 5.1)|(Windows XP)',
          'Windows Server 2003' => '(Windows NT 5.2)',
          'Windows Vista' => '(Windows NT 6.0)',
          'Windows 7' => '(Windows NT 6.1)',
          'Windows 8' => '(Windows NT 6.2)|(WOW64)',
          'Windows 10' => '(Windows 10.0)|(Windows NT 10.0)',
          'Windows NT 4.0' => '(Windows NT 4.0)|(WinNT4.0)|(WinNT)|(Windows NT)',
          'Windows ME' => 'Windows ME',
          'Open BSD' => 'OpenBSD',
          'Sun OS' => 'SunOS',
          'Linux' => '(Linux)|(X11)',
          'Mac OS' => '(Mac_PowerPC)|(Macintosh)',
          'QNX' => 'QNX',
          'BeOS' => 'BeOS',
          'OS/2' => 'OS/2',
          'Search Bot'=>'(nuhk)|(Googlebot)|(Yammybot)|(Openbot)|(Slurp)|(MSNBot)|(Ask Jeeves/Teoma)|(ia_archiver)'

            oscpu worked inconsistently for me when I tested it across the 4 major browsers on Windows 7. @Ludwig's solution worked consistently.

          • according to wikpedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_6.1 windows NT 6.1 can be either win 7, win 2008 server or windows small business server, is there a way determine which one is which?

            Nice solution, but unfortunately doesn't work correctly for Opera Next (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). It is detected as Chrome. In order to check for it, get index of 'OPR' in user agent.

          @Ludwig 's solution was brilliant. A couple of fixes (which didn't have to do with operating system, and I couldn't place as a comment on his original posting because this is too long):




          1. IE 11 no longer identifies itself as MS IE.

          2. Chrome on IOS spoofs itself as Safari


          Here they are:



          (function (window) {
          {

          alert(
          'browserInfo result: OS: ' + browserInfo.os +' '+ browserInfo.osVersion + 'n'+

          'Mobile: ' + browserInfo.mobile + 'n' +
          'Cookies: ' + browserInfo.cookies + 'n' +
          'Screen Size: ' + browserInfo.screen
          );
          */
          var unknown = 'Unknown';

          // screen
          var screenSize = '';
          if (screen.width) {
          width = (screen.width) ? screen.width : '';
          height = (screen.height) ? screen.height : '';
          screenSize += '' + width + " x " + height;
          }

          //browser
          var nVer = navigator.appVersion;
          var nAgt = navigator.userAgent;
          var browser = navigator.appName;
          var version = '' + parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);
          var majorVersion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion, 10);
          var nameOffset, verOffset, ix;

          // Opera
          if ((verOffset = nAgt.indexOf('Opera')) != -1) {
          browser = 'Opera';
          version = nAgt.substring(verOffset + 6);
          if ((verOffset = nAgt.indexOf('Version')) != -1) {
          version = nAgt.substring(verOffset + 8);
          }
          }
          // MSIE
          else if ((verOffset = nAgt.indexOf('MSIE')) != -1) {
          browser = 'Microsoft Internet Explorer';
          version = nAgt.substring(verOffset + 5);
          }

          • So now all you have to do is keep updating it for every browser on every device as they're released. I don't see "Samsung SmartTV" anywhere.

          JavaScript have access to the window.navigator.platform - a string representing the platform of the browser: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.navigator.platform



          Use it to extract whatever details you need (and can). Note that there are no guarantees that the client actually uses that platform since this can easily be modified in many ways.

            @Splaktar - That's so odd. That messaged was definitely there, but I see it's not anymore. I think at some point in 2016 it was considered? I also see this question (stackoverflow.com/questions/38506517/…), so someone else noticed it as well. Thanks for the update.

          platform.js seems like a good one file library to do this.



          Usage example:



          // on IE10 x86 platform preview running in IE7 compatibility mode on Windows 7 64 bit edition
          platform.name; // 'IE'
          platform.version; // '10.0'
          platform.layout; // 'Trident'
          platform.os; // 'Windows Server 2008 R2 / 7 x64'
          platform.description; // 'IE 10.0 x86 (platform preview; running in IE 7 mode) on Windows Server 2008 R2 / 7 x64'

          // or on an iPad
          platform.name; // 'Safari'
          platform.version; // '5.1'
          platform.product; // 'iPad'
          platform.manufacturer; // 'Apple'
          platform.layout; // 'WebKit'
          platform.os; // 'iOS 5.0'
          platform.description; // 'Safari 5.1 on Apple iPad (iOS 5.0)'

          // or parsing a given UA string
          var info = platform.parse('Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7.2; en; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Opera 11.52');
          info.name; // 'Opera'
          info.version; // '11.52'
          info.layout; // 'Presto'
          info.os; // 'Mac OS X 10.7.2'
          info.description; // 'Opera 11.52 (identifying as Firefox 4.0) on Mac OS X 10.7.2'

            You can find the OS name and version in the navigator object, as others have answered. The standard, cross-browser place to find this information is in the navigator.userAgent property. However, user agent strings vary widely by OS and browser.



            So, I created a script to encapsulate this logic and report on the most common OSes and browsers in a familiar way, like http://www.whatsmybrowser.org.



            I open-sourced the script and uploaded it to github, https://github.com/keithws/browser-report. Pull requests are welcome!

              You can use this javascript function to check users' OS simply



                function getOS() {
              var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent,
              platform = window.navigator.platform,
              macosPlatforms = ['Macintosh', 'MacIntel', 'MacPPC', 'Mac68K'],
              windowsPlatforms = ['Win32', 'Win64', 'Windows', 'WinCE'],
              iosPlatforms = ['iPhone', 'iPad', 'iPod'],
              os = null;

              if (macosPlatforms.indexOf(platform) !== -1) {
              os = 'Mac OS';
              } else if (iosPlatforms.indexOf(platform) !== -1) {
              os = 'iOS';
              } else if (windowsPlatforms.indexOf(platform) !== -1) {
              os = 'Windows';
              } else if (/Android/.test(userAgent)) {
              os = 'Android';
              } else if (!os && /Linux/.test(platform)) {
              os = 'Linux';
              }

              return os;
              }

              alert(getOS());

                I've created a library for parsing User Agent strings called Voodoo. But be aware that this should not be used instead of feature detection.



                What Voodoo does, is that it parses the userAgent string, which is found in the Navigator object (window.navigator). It's not all browsers that passes a reliable userAgent string, so even though it's the normal way to do it, the userAgent can not always be trusted.






                share|improve this answer
























                • I loved the Voodoo, but I think should be a way to easily distinguish between mobile, tablet etc... please post it at gittip so I can tip you for the nice job.

                    I can't comment on @Ian Ippolito answer (because I would have if I had the rep) but according to the document his comment linked, I'm fairly certain you can find the Chrome version for IOS. https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/user-agent?hl=ja lists the UA as: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) CriOS/56.0.2924.75 Mobile/14E5239e Safari/602.1



                    So this should work:



                    if ((verOffset = nAgt.indexOf('CriOS')) != -1) {
                    //Chrome on iPad spoofing Safari...correct it.
                    browser = 'Chrome';
                    version = nAgt.substring(verOffset + 6);//should get the criOS ver.
                    }


                    Haven't been able to test (otherwise I would have improved his answer) it to make sure since my iPad is at home and I'm at work, but I thought I'd put it out there.

                      Hey for a quick solution you can consider the following library : UAPARSER - https://www.npmjs.com/package/ua-parser-js



                      example :



                      <script type="text/javascript" src="ua-parser.min.js"></script>
                      <script type="text/javascript">

                      var parser = new UAParser();
                      console.log(parser.getOS()) // will log {name: "", version:""}


                      you can also install the library via npm, and import it like this:



                      import { UAParser } from 'ua-parser-js';
                      let parser = new UAParser();
                      parser.getOS();


                      the library is a JS based user agent string parser (window.navigator.userAgent is the user agent on browser) , so you can get with it other details aswell such as Browser,device,engines etc..and it can work with node js as well.



                      if you need typing for the library : https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/ua-parser-js

                          Nice solution, but unfortunately doesn't work correctly for Opera Next (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). It is detected as Chrome. In order to check for it, get index of 'OPR' in user agent.

                          @akapelko Unfortunately Microsoft uses the same version numbers for multiple OS (see msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/…)

                          I was inspired by @Ludwig's code and created an open-sourced project on GitHub. github.com/keithws/browser-report

                        I started to write a Script to read OS and browser version that can be tested on Fiddle. Feel free to use and extend.

                          Nice solution, but unfortunately doesn't work correctly for Opera Next (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…). It is detected as Chrome. In order to check for it, get index of 'OPR' in user agent.

                          @akapelko Unfortunately Microsoft uses the same version numbers for multiple OS (see msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/…)

                        11














                        @Ludwig 's solution was brilliant. A couple of fixes (which didn't have to do with operating system, and I couldn't place as a comment on his original posting because this is too long):




                        1. IE 11 no longer identifies itself as MS IE.

                        2. Chrome on IOS spoofs itself as Safari


                        Here they are:



                        (function (window) {
                        {
                        /* test cases
                        alert(
                        'browserInfo result: OS: ' + browserInfo.os +' '+ browserInfo.osVersion + 'n'+
                        'Browser: ' + browserInfo.browser +' '+ browserInfo.browserVersion + 'n' +
                        'Mobile: ' + browserInfo.mobile + 'n' +
                        'Cookies: ' + browserInfo.cookies + 'n' +
                        'Screen Size: ' + browserInfo.screen
                        );
                        */
                        var unknown = 'Unknown';

                        // screen
                        var screenSize = '';
                        if (screen.width) {

                        • I've started a github repo based on this. github.com/thorst/Browser. Aiming to be minimal, but have enough coverage.

                        • So now all you have to do is keep updating it for every browser on every device as they're released. I don't see "Samsung SmartTV" anywhere.

                        @Ludwig 's solution was brilliant. A couple of fixes (which didn't have to do with operating system, and I couldn't place as a comment on his original posting because this is too long):




                        1. IE 11 no longer identifies itself as MS IE.

                        2. Chrome on IOS spoofs itself as Safari

                        • I've started a github repo based on this. github.com/thorst/Browser. Aiming to be minimal, but have enough coverage.

                        • So now all you have to do is keep updating it for every browser on every device as they're released. I don't see "Samsung SmartTV" anywhere.

                        @Ludwig 's solution was brilliant. A couple of fixes (which didn't have to do with operating system, and I couldn't place as a comment on his original posting because this is too long):




                        1. IE 11 no longer identifies itself as MS IE.

                        2. Chrome on IOS spoofs itself as Safari

                        @Ludwig 's solution was brilliant. A couple of fixes (which didn't have to do with operating system, and I couldn't place as a comment on his original posting because this is too long):




                        1. IE 11 no longer identifies itself as MS IE.

                        2. Chrome on IOS spoofs itself as Safari


                        Here they are:

                        JavaScript have access to the window.navigator.platform - a string representing the platform of the browser: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.navigator.platform



                        Use it to extract whatever details you need (and can). Note that there are no guarantees that the client actually uses that platform since this can easily be modified in many ways.

                        platform.js seems like a good one file library to do this.



                        Usage example:



                        // on IE10 x86 platform preview running in IE7 compatibility mode on Windows 7 64 bit edition
                        platform.name; // 'IE'
                        platform.version; // '10.0'
                        platform.layout; // 'Trident'
                        platform.os; // 'Windows Server 2008 R2 / 7 x64'
                        platform.description; // 'IE 10.0 x86 (platform preview; running in IE 7 mode) on Windows Server 2008 R2 / 7 x64'

                                You can find the OS name and version in the navigator object, as others have answered. The standard, cross-browser place to find this information is in the navigator.userAgent property. However, user agent strings vary widely by OS and browser.



                                So, I created a script to encapsulate this logic and report on the most common OSes and browsers in a familiar way, like http://www.whatsmybrowser.org.

                                                I've created a library for parsing User Agent strings called Voodoo. But be aware that this should not be used instead of feature detection.



                                                What Voodoo does, is that it parses the userAgent string, which is found in the Navigator object (window.navigator). It's not all browsers that passes a reliable userAgent string, so even though it's the normal way to do it, the userAgent can not always be trusted.

                                                            I fork @Ludwig code and remove necessity of swfobject.



                                                            I just use swfobject code for detect flash version.

                                                            I just use swfobject code for detect flash version.

                                                                            the library is a JS based user agent string parser (window.navigator.userAgent is the user agent on browser) , so you can get with it other details aswell such as Browser,device,engines etc..and it can work with node js as well.

                                                                            example :



                                                                            <script type="text/javascript" src="ua-parser.min.js"></script>
                                                                            <script type="text/javascript">

                                                                            var parser = new UAParser();
                                                                            console.log(parser.getOS()) // will log {name: "", version:""}


                                                                            you can also install the library via npm, and import it like this:



                                                                            import { UAParser } from 'ua-parser-js';
                                                                            let parser = new UAParser();
                                                                            parser.getOS();


                                                                            the library is a JS based user agent string parser (window.navigator.userAgent is the user agent on browser) , so you can get with it other details aswell such as Browser,device,engines etc..and it can work with node js as well.
