Many times when we went to a web page, we see a banner that shows the information about our equipment or signage in the language or geographical area from which we connect. For example, a banner with our IP and our ISP or Google advertisements only for the city from we are connecting, etc ...
The best thing to protect part of our privacy is to use a proxy, as published recently, or some anonymous surfing web.
But ... what can find my web browser about me and my computer?
A good website for these data is http://browserspy.dk/. On this page we perform several tests to check your privacy. This is the main page, in which different parts are distinguished: in the center publish news about web sites that speak of it. On the right there are various tests to perform, and that is the part that interests us.

Some of the tests that we can check are:- File types supported
- Information about cookies (if enabled, cookie number, size, ...)
- Information about Adobe Flash
- Date and time of our PC.
- Band width
- If you surf through a proxy
- Geolocation
- and so on.
Now we'll see screenshots of some of these tests to see what they show us. For starters we see the test on Adobe Reader, which shows if you have installed and what supplements (if any):
Our processor:
Geolocation:
Images supported by your web browser:
Our IP:
Information on our Operating System:
A list of plugins installed in your browser:
Display information (resolution, etc ...)
These are just some of the tests that we do. Enter the page http://browserspy.dk and check these tests or others that interest you to see what information is collected about your computer.
It is also interested to see what information is able to show private browsing or through a proxy.
