Google updates whatbrowser.org with HTML5 and mobile support

Google has launched a new updated version of whatbrowser.org website. The company said that the web has changed a lot in the past couple of years and it deserved a revamp.

whatbrowser.org is now coded using HTML5 technologies. It is also now compatible with mobile browsers.

The core focus remains the same. Alert the user about what browser is being used and whether it needs an update.

Google said:

To reflect the changing browser landscape, we’ve completely revamped whatbrowser.org. The site has been fully rebuilt in HTML5, localized in 43 languages, and now works on mobile, too. The site also highlights why it’s so important to use a modern browser and keep it up to date: doing so saves you time, keeps you safer, and lets you do more online. The browser you choose is up to you; hopefully whatbrowser.org can help.

Sadly, it is not able to detect Yandex browser properly. Yandex is of course based on an old Chromium base which is reflected in this screenshot:
