Web Developers: Use our auto-redirect
Send your users straight to the right guide
If you want to link your site to our guides (or provide a link via your help desk), we've built a handy redirection URL which will automatically send your user to the correct guide for them.
Simply place a link to:
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/how-to-enable-javascript/auto
anywhere on your website and when your users click it, we'll send them to the best guide for their system. It saves them having to click the correct icon.
