Question

Khushi Singh · Answer

The JavaScript window.navigator object 
delivers precise details about what device platform and browser the user uses. Web applications use it to discover browser types while checking internet availability due to its ability to control permissions and adjust behavior across platforms.
Through navigator.userAgent the system gives details about the browser operating system environment. Developers utilize this feature to make content adjustments dependent on the environment the user accesses. The feature lets you know what device your user has which helps you create specific designs that respond well on both desktops and mobile phones.
The navigator.platform property reveals the operating system type such as Win32 for Windows and MacIntel for macOS. Applications that depend on operating system controls and optimization need this feature.
When checking the user's internet connection status, the navigator.onLine function gives true results for online users but false results for those who are offline. Our PWA needs this ability as it should work offline with proper connectivity notifications.
Through navigator.geolocation users can access their location with the specified permission. You can find this feature in services that display maps, weather apps plus location-focused content.
The navigator object provides additional tools to check user details and device capabilities. It tells you what language people prefer and which permissions they have already given through the
navigator.permissions. You can also find out if cookies work through
navigator.cookieEnabled.
The following code enables to examine if cookies work on the system:
if (navigator.cookieEnabled) {
   console.log("Cookies are enabled.");
} else {
   console.log("Cookies are disabled.");
}
The 
window.navigator object helps web applications work better since it gives users and developers crucial browser and system data to make websites more secure across different devices.
