Wow, 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 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 recipients/departments. We still need to change the color scheme (I wanted to launch at the end of the week, so it's straight Bootstrap for now) and finish the translation to German. Also: Premium version! Feel free to be a beta tester! Also: all the best to the OP, great idea! ;-)

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.

Your site correctly identified my browser as Chrome for iPhone. OP's site detected it as Safari on OS/2. Kudos. Perhaps you could share some insights on why this might be.

  Sure! We're using http://user-agent-string.info/ http://user-agent-string.info/ I didn't feel up to doing the parsing myself...

Your site at least works. aboutmybrowser.com failed with two of my devices with a generic message. Your site works perfectly. Well done!

  Can you please try out aboutmybrowser.com now? There was an issue that we fixed a while back. Thanks!

Great work. It works well, it identified everything correctly, including the Windows Version (8).

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.

  Thanks and good idea about the setter link. We offer something similar in that every recipient has a unique link: http://subdomain.browser-details.com/?r=2 http://subdomain.browser-details.com/?r=2 Using this link makes "Send details" pop up immediately on opening. All the receiver has to do is click "Send".

Might be a bug: window size is incorrect with my setup. AboutMyBrowser.com (correct): Screen Width 2560 Screen Height 1440 Browser Width 1932 Browser Height 1271 Browser Top 22 Browser-Details.com: Screen Resolution 2560x1440 Window Size 2560x1366 https://aboutmybrowser.com/4031483493 https://aboutmybrowser.com/4031483493

Your design is definitely superior from a usability standpoint. Mad props to the OP for a nice site (though the reports of inaccurate reporting is alarming) but tomorrow I will be going your link to my phone girl. An example is the OP's large logo icon in the center of the page (serves little to no purpose) and the requirement to scroll the page to find extra info. Good on you man! Edit: suggestion - allow the subdomian feature to work with www in front. A lot of the type of people who will be going to these pages will automatically type www dot in front and it bounces to the homepage. Still of course works, but removes the nifty send button.

  Thanks for the kind words and sorry to the OP for hijacking this thread. I was really just floored by the coincidence... Great suggestion, by the way! I added this feature so now adding "www." will go to the subdomain as well.
