Why your browser version matters

The browser and version in the result are detected from your browser’s user agent. Your version number tells you, and the websites you visit, which features and security fixes your browser has.

How to check your browser version manually

  • Google Chrome: menu (three dots), then Help, then About Google Chrome, or go to chrome://settings/help.
  • Microsoft Edge: menu (three dots), then Help and feedback, then About Microsoft Edge, or go to edge://settings/help.
  • Mozilla Firefox: menu (three lines), then Help, then About Firefox.
  • Safari on Mac: in the menu bar, open Safari, then About Safari.
  • Safari on iPhone and iPad: Safari’s version follows iOS. Go to Settings, then General, then About.

Opening the About page in Chrome, Edge or Firefox also downloads any pending update. Restart the browser to finish installing it.

Why updating your browser matters

  • Security: most updates fix vulnerabilities, some of them already exploited by attackers. An outdated browser is one of the most common ways malware gets onto a computer.
  • Compatibility: websites rely on modern web features, and old versions may show broken layouts or refuse to load some sites.
  • Performance: new versions regularly improve speed, memory use and battery life.

Browser support for older systems

Browsers eventually drop support for old operating systems. When that happens your browser stops receiving updates even if you check for them. If your version is several releases behind the current one, check your operating system too. Updating the OS, or switching to a browser that still supports it, may be the only way to stay secure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my browser is up to date?

Open the browser’s About page. It shows your version and checks for updates automatically. In Chrome, enter chrome://settings/help in the address bar; in Edge, edge://settings/help; in Firefox, open Help, then About Firefox.

Why does my browser version end in .0.0.0?

Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers hide the minor version in the user agent to reduce tracking. The major version, such as 130, is accurate. Your browser’s About page shows the full number.

How often do browsers update?

Chrome, Edge and Firefox release a new major version about every four weeks, with security fixes in between. Safari updates with macOS and iOS, plus separate security releases.

Which browser am I using if it says Safari and Chrome?

Browsers list other browsers’ names for compatibility: Chrome includes Safari, and Edge includes both Chrome and Safari. Detection looks for the most specific token first, such as Edg for Edge or OPR for Opera, so the browser shown is the one you are actually using.
