What every browser knows about you is actually the name of a web browser which tells us the information that has been collected from us by the web browser. We know already that websites collect information and data from us implicitly or explicitly. In this passing of information, the web browsers take active role. The information collected helps in providing a better browsing experience like suggesting search results based on your search history, provides quick results etc. On the other hand the information is often used by advertisers and telecallers. So it’s not that unpopular badly designed websites leak information but Chrome also does. So how to figure out which information of yours is being propagated from your machine?
