Hi @David306

Thanks for coming here. 

Is this a certain website or app showing different browsers? 

What device are you using? 

Leanne.

Hi @David306,

Thanks for the post.  Sorry for any confusion caused.

The information, available via your profile page, under the heading, 'Browser used for Last Visit' can get a little confusing, especially when it seems that it's reporting multiple different browsers, some of which you may have never used. 

The reason for this is that your browser will send its 'User agent' to every website you visit.  The 'User agent' is a string of text identifying your browser and operating system to the web server.

Please take a look at this link, What Is a Browser’s User Agent? as that will explain, in more depth, what a user agent is and why it seems to list browsers that you have not used.

Cheers

Sean
