Properly Understanding the Capabilities of your Browser
Have you ever thought to yourself just what can your Web browser do? Beyond the ability to just load the websites and play the videos, modern browsers are incredible tools and they are chock full of features that you probably don't even know about. This browser capabilities checker has you covered it will show you exactly what your browser is capable of doing from simple storage capabilities to complex APIs powering the most modern web applications.
Why Browser Capabilities Should be Tested
You would like to know what kind of tool are available on your knife knowing what your browser supports make you understand why some website works perfectly, and some website which could make you feel clunky or broken. When a developer is creating a web app, essentially they have just crossed their fingers and hope that your browser speaks the same language. This tool gives you the ability to set the eyes to what's the case of the "languages" that are understood by your browser.
For the end users, it means that some knowledge on why some of the features may not be visible on your device. For developers and other tech enthusiasts, it's an on-the-spot diagnostic tool that actually shows you what exactly you're working on. There is no more guess work of whether or not your browser supports WebRTC to allow video calls or if there are service workers for off line functionality.
How Exactly this Browser Checker work
What happens is magic the instant you got this page loaded. Unlike other types of browser testing tool that could send your data to a third party server, this checker runs all in your browser with the help of Java Script. It's just like having a doctor take you to a look right there as opposed to mailing your results off somewhere to this sort of lab somewhere in some sort of place. Everything that happens happens locally; meaning that your privacy is maintained.
In a systematic way, the tool checks for over 30 different features of different browsers in six different major categories. It doesn't do a simple search on whether something is there - it actually tries to check whether these features are actually available and working. For example, just because in browser says that this browser support geolocation doesn't mean that if we block your permission then it's going to work. This is the checker which will help you to be informed of the real story.
The support score that you see at the top is not random. It determines what percent of the features of modern web are firmly supported by your browser. Normally if your score is 85% or more, that means that you're using a modern and up to date browser. Anything lower than 70% may mean that you're using a dual old browser which can use an update.
Breaking Up the Six Capability Categorization
🚀
Browser Featues
Browser Featues are the basis as to what is possible your browser is able to do. Service workers make the websites work offline, web workers allow the websites to do heavy calculations without freezing and WebAssembly - that allows near-native for complex applications. These are the building blocks which make the modern web apps so feel like the native applications they aren't just a page on the web.

Storage API
Storage API is which is used to finding how website remember's you and your Preference etc. LocalStorage is what will be used to data between one's sessions LocalStorage is the temporary data and Cache API is temporary data to remembering of the websites to load much faster which are stored on their local computers rather than fete and connect to internet Understanding your storage capabilities Understand the reasons why some sites remember your settings and for why some sites require that you log in each time

Media Capabilities
Media Capabilities - is what makes the video calls or music production applications or browser based games possible. WebRTC offers you are real time communication without plugins, MediaDevices offers you access to your camera and microphone, Web Audio is used to create and manipulate sound and WebGL is used to render 3D graphics.
