I need to know the user's navigator name but i can't

Question

I wanna know user's navigator name and alert it But Both in Firefox and Chrome the alert text is "Netscape" . Here is my javascript code :

var app=navigator.appName;
alert(app);

Wrong property. See [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/10257955/447356) how to detect browser name. — Shadow The GPT Wizard, Aug 12 '13 at 08:24
What are you trying to achieve with browser detection? FYI, browser detection is **unreliable**. If you are trying to detect the availability of certain features, use feature detection instead (e.g. [Modernizr](http://modernizr.com/)) — rexcfnghk, Aug 12 '13 at 08:25

You should be able to extract this information from navigator.userAgent instead. Check out this jsFiddle.

The navigator object contains properties such as:

appCodeName
appName
appVersion
...
userAgent
vendor

and many others.

If you use chrome just type window.navigator in the console and you'll see all available fields.
