The UA client hints are request headers that provide information about the user agent, the platform/architecture it is running on, and user preferences set on the user agent or platform {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's branding and version. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Arch")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's underlying platform architecture. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Bitness")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's underlying CPU architecture bitness (for example "64" bit). {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Form-Factors")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's form-factors, describing how the user interacts with the user-agent. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version")}} {{deprecated_inline}} : User agent's full version string. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List")}} {{experimental_inline}} : Full version for each brand in the user agent's brand list. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Mobile")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent is running on a mobile device or, more generally, prefers a "mobile" user experience. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Model")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's device model. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Platform")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's underlying operation system/platform. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-Platform-Version")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User agent's underlying operation system version. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-UA-WoW64")}} {{experimental_inline}} : Whether or not the user agent binary is running in 32-bit mode on 64-bit Windows. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-Prefers-Color-Scheme")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User's preference of dark or light color scheme. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-Prefers-Reduced-Motion")}} {{experimental_inline}} : User's preference to see fewer animations and content layout shifts. {{HTTPHeader("Sec-CH-Prefers-Reduced-Transparency")}} {{experimental_inline}} : Request header indicates the user agent's preference for reduced transparency. > [!NOTE] > User-agent client hints are not available inside fenced frames because they rely on permissions policy delegation, which could be used to leak data.
