Client Hints are an approach developed by the Chrome/Chromium team to allow web browsers to identify themselves and their capabilities to the websites that you visit. Traditionally browser detection was done by a combination of User Agent Parsing and feature detection, however web technology continues to evolve and Client Hints are starting to augment and maybe one day even replace the older approaches.
Client Hints offer a more structured approach for web browsing clients to let the web servers they visit know about their browser, version, platform and so on. The Client Hints approach is still developing, with new headers being added occasionally. Here's a list of which (if any) Client Hints your web browser is sending to our server.
Not all web browsers support Client Hints yet, you can investigate web browsers that support Client Hints.
