Inspired by the news that Google Workspace will soon require JS in order to log in, I made this to send our users for diagnosing issues. Nothing fancy.

Here is a website I sometimes use when clients/users of mine are having issues: https://www.whatismybrowser.com/

Has a handy "Copy URL" button that they can use to send you back a replica of the results.

Hey, thanks for the share :)

I started https://www.whatismybrowser.com 11 years ago to help me with my clients, and I'm always glad to hear it helps others too!

I'm always open for suggestions for more features too.

This would have been an excellent use of a <noscript> tag, but there is none :(

If you had to answer the question "Is JavaScript Disabled?", then <noscript> would have worked fine. But to answer the question "Is JavaScript Enabled?", you'd still have to have at least some amount of JavaScript code, as there is no <yesscript> tag (yet?)

You can have a stylesheet in the <noscript> that adds display: none to other parts of the page.

But I get having javascript change the page not only answers if it's enabled, but working too.

I suppose that would be another solution, sure.
