What Is My User Agent
What is my user agent?
Your user agent is the string your browser sends to every website — naming your browser, OS, and device. Here's yours, read live, with a plain parse and a one-click copy.

Every site reads this string. It can’t be switched off, but paired with your IP it helps trackers profile you. Hiding your IP breaks that link. See your full fingerprint.

What it reveals
What your user agent says about you
A useful string for developers — and a handy signal for trackers. See what your full fingerprint adds on top.
Every site receives it
Your browser sends the user-agent string on every request. Servers use it to decide which version of a page, script, or download to give you.
It reveals your stack
The string names your browser, rendering engine, operating system, and often your device class — useful for support, but also for profiling.
It feeds your fingerprint
On its own it's coarse, but combined with your screen, timezone, and IP it helps trackers tell you apart from other visitors.
You can't switch it off
You can spoof it, but sites always get some string. What you can control is the IP paired with it — the piece that pins you to a place.
How to use it
Get and read your user agent in three steps
- 1
Read your string
The tool shows your exact navigator.userAgent verbatim, so you can copy it for testing, bug reports, or support tickets.
- 2
Check the parse
See it broken down into browser, engine, OS, and device — no guessing at the cryptic version numbers.
- 3
Mind the pairing
Your user agent plus your IP is what identifies you. Hide your IP so the string can't be tied to your location.
The honest bit
Free because Premium pays the bills — never because we sell your data
The usual catch with a free VPN is that it logs and sells your browsing to make money. Zippa doesn’t. Our free tier is funded by people who upgrade to Premium, and we keep a strict no-logs policy — we don’t record the sites you visit, your real IP, or your DNS queries. There’s simply nothing to sell.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions people actually ask before they install — answered plainly.
A user agent is a short text string your browser sends to every website it contacts. It identifies the browser, its rendering engine, the operating system, and often the device type, so servers can tailor the page, scripts, or downloads they return to you.
The tool at the top of this page shows your exact user-agent string, read live from your browser, with a one-click copy button. Below it, we parse the string into your browser, engine, operating system, and device so you don't have to decode it yourself.
It's handy for reporting a bug (so a developer can reproduce your exact setup), testing how a site behaves on different browsers, filling in a support ticket, or checking that a browser update applied. Copy it straight from the tool above.
Not by itself — many people share the same string. But combined with other signals like your screen size, timezone, and especially your IP address, it becomes part of a fingerprint that can single you out. Hiding your IP removes the piece that ties it to your location.
Spoofing your user agent alone does little, and an unusual string can actually make you more identifiable. The higher-impact step is hiding your IP address, so your requests can't be linked to your real location. Zippa does that in one click, free.
It depends who runs it. Plenty of free VPNs pay their bills by logging and selling browsing data — that's the real catch. Zippa is funded by people who upgrade to Premium, not by your data, and we keep a strict no-logs policy, so there's nothing to record or sell in the first place.
