WorkerNavigator: platform property

Note: This feature is only available in Web Workers.

Returns a string representing the platform of the browser. The specification allows browsers to always return the empty string, so don't rely on this property to get a reliable answer.

Value

A string identifying the platform on which the browser is running, or an empty string if the browser declines to (or is unable to) identify the platform. platform is a string that must be an empty string or a string representing the platform on which the browser is executing.

For example: "MacIntel", "Win32", "FreeBSD i386", "WebTV OS".

Examples

js
console.log(navigator.platform);

Usage notes

On Windows, modern browsers return "Win32" even if running on a 64-bit version of Windows
