Your web browser is able to see many things about your computer. A web browser needs to know how big your display is so that it can
properly display a webpage. This means that the web browser will know what size monitor you have, and depending on how in depth it goes, it may even know the exact make and model.
Your web browser may also need your location in order to tell you shipping times and show you your nearest stores. This means that a webpage
will also have access to where you live, or where you are frequently visiting their website from.
A webpage will also know what operating system your computer is running, as well as what browser you are on. Both of these can be used
to find out more about your computer and target ads towards your specificiations.
Lastly, a browser will be able to tell if you are currently online or not. For example, Google Chrome will check if you are offline
when loading a new page. If you are offline it will display their offline page, and their famous dinosaur game.
However, in todays day and age this is apart of our daily lives. I am not much worried about this, as I have grown up with this as a reality
, and know how to manipulate the system, which is harder for older generations who are not as well versed in computer/web/internet culture.
