Hi forum friends,
Not to every web page, but your browser can tell an awful lot about you when you enable requests and script. Look here: http://browserspy.dk/
We are not doing anything special here, we are simply reading the information your computer browser is providing about you and displaying that back in a form you can understand, also tested this: http://www.popupcheck.com/freescan/popup/popup_test_advanced.asp all 6 advanced tests green

Interesting and strange.
It states that I’m using the following:
navigator.appName Netscape
navigator.appCodeName Mozilla
navigator.appVersion 5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.517.0 Safari/534.7
navigator.appMinorVersion Property is not supported! navigator.appMinorVersion is not a string. It’s a undefined
navigator.vendor Google Inc.
My actual browser used is Google’s Chrome. ;D
Hi bob3160,
This is completely right, because it tells us how Google Chrome was being developed:
Mozilla was built on Netscape
Chrome was built on Mozilla using the AppleWebkit and sharing the Gecko machine with Fx, Chrome and Safari came up with parts of the GoogleChrome code. So do you like the scrambled eggs code of your browser? ;D
In between brackets is given your OS and that you run the US-English version of mentioned software), your version of Windows NT = 6.1 (I was trained by MS to administer NT4 and administering the Kernel thereof (services) in 2001.
Quite interesting you get the whole history with the browser ID (a bit like a birth certificate);
same was with DOS, a version of Dos was bought up by MS with the obscure Q-DOS, deveoped by another company, (MS always hotch-potched code) to set it apart from existing versions for propriety reasons and then later developed this into MS-DOS, that latest version now is 7.1 as I remember this good,
then developed Windows, Windows 95 etc. etc. Dos was still running under 98 SE (but not the full versions of it were given - too dangerous as they thought for user and (resource-)hacker alike),

I really can’t get excited about stuff like this as I don’t see any security implication about the information gathered. A site would have to gather the information, detect which software you run and possibly try and run a crafted exploit attack, all of which would have to get past your security software.
With firefox and no script a lot of the information isn’t available and there are many categories that can only be gathered if you are using IE.
After running through those test, I like Opera even more than before the tests. 
Hi CharleyO,
Good for you, CharleyO,
and @DavidR. Loads of users are still on IE(6) and not so security savvy that they use NS in an alternative browser like Mozilla’s Fx or Flock, so they may get something out of these tests. Maybe the system admins could use the results to convince staff of bringing in better protection. A lot of these bosses still put their workers at risk by running IE6 on a WinXP SP? OS :o ,

Yes, but they are equally unlikely to visit this type of site or care about what their browsers shows.
your version of Windows NT = 6.1My version of Windows is Win 7. :)
Hi bob3160,
Read why it is going to continue 6.1 versioning for us, you call it seven, but the NT version is 6.1:

I was right, wasn’t I?
polonus
yes… ;D You;re right but MS is still screwed up in their numbering or naming system.
I guess since it’s their product, they’re allowed to continue to confuse us. 
Just goes to show win7 really was Vista fixed ;D
I guess if you are a Firefox users then you can try this addon
MSE beta says the site has a trojan.
I think this is a false positive, I’ve started a thread on the MSE forums to find out.
