WorkerNavigator: platform property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
Note: This feature is only available in Web Workers.
Returns a string representing the platform of the browser. The specification allows browsers to always return the empty string, so don't rely on this property to get a reliable answer.
Value
A string identifying the platform on which the browser is running, or
an empty string if the browser declines to (or is unable to) identify the platform.
platform is a string that must be an empty string or a string representing
the platform on which the browser is executing.
For example: "MacIntel", "Win32", "FreeBSD i386", "WebTV OS".
Examples
console.log(navigator.platform);
Usage notes
On Windows, modern browsers return "Win32" even if running on a 64-bit version of Windows
