How do I find the "chromium version" in a chromium based web browser?

For error reporting etc I would like to know the version of chromium used by a chromium based web browser. Can I find that somewhere in the users web browser?

Thanks for suggestions about using navigator.userAgent. They might be useful (not sure), but a more safe way seems to use something like

if (typeof chrome === "undefined") {
   // Not chromium based, probably Firefox then
}

Any comments on this? @Asesh?

execute "navigator.userAgent" in javascript

it will return a string similar to

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3683.86 Safari/537.36"

with Chromium as 3rd
