How browser version numbers work
Your browser’s full version number is shown in the result. The browser version tool shows only the major version, such as Chrome 130. This one shows the complete number, such as 130.0.6723.92, which identifies the exact build you are running.
How the full version is detected
- Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave and Samsung Internet hide the full number in their user agent, so this tool reads it through User-Agent Client Hints.
- Firefox and Safari still include the full version in the user agent, so the tool reads it from there.
How Chrome version numbers work
Chromium-based browsers use four numbers: MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD.PATCH.
- Major (130): increases with every release, about every four weeks.
- Minor (0): currently always zero.
- Build (6723): the code snapshot the release was built from.
- Patch (92): increases with each security or bug-fix update to that release.
Firefox uses MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, for example 131.0.3, and Safari follows the version of macOS or iOS it ships with.
When you need the full version
- reporting a bug to a website or browser developer
- checking whether a specific security fix has been installed
- confirming that an update has finished after restarting the browser
- comparing installs across company computers
