You would need to keep track of the User-Agent strings of the visitors to your site.
Chrome has Chrome/<version> and Firefox has Firefox/<version> in their UA strings.

Hi Sam,
             Thank you for your response
.
             If its an application, how will I view the application details?
The UA doesn't have that information ... it only specifies the user's OS/version, and the user's browser and version (and the UA string can be easily spoofed).
Google Analytics provides tracking information for this.

If you own "example.com" and you install Google Analytics on it, then you'll be able to view visitor data by Browser within the "Browser & OS" report:

To track user behavior within an application (as opposed to a web site), you'd install Google Analytics for mobile apps:
