This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Do not use it in old or new projects. Pages or Web apps using it may break at any time.
The NavigatorID.appName property returns the name of the browser. The HTML5 specification also allows any browser to return "Netscape" here, for compatibility reasons.
Note: Do not rely on this property to return the correct browser name. In most browsers (like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer) the returned string is "
Netscape".Syntax
appName = window.navigator.appName
Value
appName is the name of the browser as a string.
Example
alert(window.navigator.appName); // shows the name of the browser
