{{APIRef("Web Workers API")}}
The **`navigator`** read-only property of the {{domxref("WorkerGlobalScope")}} interface returns the {{domxref("WorkerNavigator")}} associated with the worker. It is a specific navigator object, mostly a subset of the {{domxref("Navigator")}} for browsing scopes, but adapted to workers.
## Value
A {{domxref("WorkerNavigator")}} object.
## Examples
If you call the following
```js
console.log(navigator);
```
inside a worker (which would basically be the equivalent of `self.console.log(self.navigator);`, as these are being called on the worker scope, which can be referenced with {{domxref("WorkerGlobalScope.self")}}), you will get a {{domxref("WorkerNavigator")}} object written to the console — something like the following:
```plain
Object {onLine: true, userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) Ap…ML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.93 Safari/537.36", product: "Gecko", platform: "MacIntel", appVersion: "5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKi…ML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.93 Safari/537.36"…}
appCodeName: "Mozilla"

__proto__: Object
```
You could use this navigator object to return more information about the runtime environment, as you might do with a normal {{domxref("Navigator")}} object.
