Answer 1

For detecting the web platform you should use Bowser . I have used this in ionic 4 for detecting browser platform i.e whether it is safari or chrome.

Step 1 : You need to install bowser in your project

npm install bowser@2.7.0 --save-exact

Step 2 : Then you need to import it in .ts page where you want to use it. let suppose home.ts

import Bowser from "bowser";

Step 3 : Then you need to write login to check browser platform inside a function in home.ts

checkBrowserPlatform() {
  const browser = Bowser.getParser(window.navigator.userAgent);
  const browserName = browser.getBrowserName();
    console.log(browserName);
  }

By calling checkBrowserPlatform() you can know the current browser name.
