Hi all!
I'm on macOS Monterey 12.3.1, but if I go to one of these sites that tell you your ip address, your operating system, your browser, etc. such as
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-operating-system-do-i-have
or even on some social networks, my operating system is indicated by these sites to be macOs 10.15.7. !!!
Why does this happen? How can this be solved? is this also the case for you?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3
Based on another discussion that I read here today, to make it harder for hackers to target OS versions with security holes, Apple stopped w/Catalina having the browser identify to websites the macOS version and now it reports the last Catilinia version that correctly identifies the version. It appears to apply to all browsers,not just Safari.

No, the site is wrong. It identifies my iPad as running Mac OS 10.15.6, which is obviously incorrect.
thank you stedman1, but I'm checking many sites and all say the same!
My macOs version is wrong!!!
