Every time your web browser opens a web page, it sends a "request" for that page. Part of that request includes a series of "headers".
Here is a list of the 9 headers your browser sent when requesting this page.
| ACCEPT | text/html,image/png,image/jpeg,image/pjpeg,image/x-xbitmap,image/svg+xml,image/gif;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.1 |
|---|---|
| ACCEPT-LANGUAGE | en, * |
| CONNECTION | close |
| CONTENT-LENGTH | |
| CONTENT-TYPE | |
| COOKIE | $Version=1; csrftoken=rN0egItNpxNniW4xeziOJeNTqTLEFPXH; $Path=/; SameSite=Lax; $Path=/ |
| HOST | www.whatismybrowser.com |
| REFERER | http://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/ |
| USER-AGENT | Mozilla/4.5 (compatible; HTTrack 3.0x; Windows 98) |
These headers may vary from site to site (in particular the HOST and COOKIE headers!) depending on your settings.

Client Hints are the new approach to identifying web browsers, built to eventually replace user agents. We're following the development and switch to using them closely. We've also built a tool to detect client hints that your web browser is sending.
