Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
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.
Syntax
platform = navigator.platform
Value
A DOMString 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"
Example
console.log(navigator.platform);
Usage notes
Most browsers, including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox 63 and later, return "Win32" even if running on a 64-bit version of Windows. Internet Explorer and versions of Firefox prior to version 63 still report "Win64".
