Safari: "[object DOMWindow]" FireFox: "[object Window]" Opera: "[object Window]" IE: "[object]" I'm not sure which is correct. But it seems like we might want to match either FF or IE here. Maybe it doesn't matter. I don't have a site which is broken due to this only record of a crazy internal page using this as a way to detect browser type!? :)

From attached test case in URL field, I get [object Window] in all browsers (Chrome Canary 106, Firefox Nightly 105 and Safari 15.6). JSFiddle from URL field Test case -
https://jsfiddle.net/st7L03b8/
JSFiddle for toString test case -
https://jsfiddle.net/ygtSk/
In other test case, similarly for all browsers - I get [object String]. Since all browsers are now matching, I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!
