Looking at this computer…

Only this page sees it. Nothing about your computer is sent anywhere.

Memory
Why does my browser say 8 GB?

Browsers round memory down and stop counting at 8 GB, and Safari and Firefox do not share it at all, so websites cannot use it to tell computers apart. We work it out from your chip instead, and you can correct it with one tap.
