isChrome()

true when the current environment is Google Chrome — or any browser built directly on Chromium (Chrome Beta, Canary, Brave, Vivaldi, …) — but not Chromium-Edge or Opera.

Signature	(options?: DetectOptions) => boolean
Tree-shakes to	~400 bytes if imported alone
Excludes	Edge, Opera, Firefox-on-iOS, Safari, IE

Matches

• Desktop Chrome — Chrome/ token with navigator.vendor === 'Google Inc.' (or window.chrome global as a UA-spoof backstop).
• Chrome iOS — CriOS/ token.
• Pure Chromium — Chromium/ token (Brave, Vivaldi, etc.).

Excludes UAs containing Edge/, Edg/, EdgA/, EdgiOS/, Opera, or OPR/.

Examples

Default

import { isChrome } from 'get-browser';

if (isChrome()) {
  // safe to use Chrome-only APIs guarded by feature checks
  enableChromeFeature();
}

SSR

import { isChrome } from 'get-browser';

isChrome({
  userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) '
    + 'AppleWebKit/537.36 Chrome/140.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
  vendor: 'Google Inc.',
}); // → true

Combined with isMobile

import { isChrome, isMobile } from 'get-browser';

// Chrome Android — common quirks live here
if (isChrome() && isMobile()) {
  document.body.classList.add('chrome-android');
}

Brave / Chromium siblings

import { detect } from 'get-browser';

// Brave & Vivaldi both report as 'chrome' — they're pure Chromium underneath.
// The library does NOT distinguish them. Use the Brave-specific
// navigator.brave API for that.
const isBrave = await navigator.brave?.isBrave?.() ?? false;
const family  = detect();   // 'chrome'

Pure-Chromium fingerprint

Chrome/-with-Apple-vendor on iOS is not desktop Chrome — it's Chrome iOS, which uses WebKit under the hood. isChrome() returns true for both, but they have very different capabilities.
