Keyboard Maestro Browser Version
Using Keyboard Maestro to get the browser version
Keyboard Maestro has a great integration with some popular browsers. Some macros that I created comes in handy when filing Jira Issues.

Browser Version
When reporting an issue, often I need to include the browser that I used so that Developers can see if the reported issue is related to a specific browser version. Since most of the modern browsers auto-update it can be a pain to track them.
Chrome Version
Execute the following AppleScript:
tell application "Google Chrome"
set theVersion to "Chrome " & version
end tell
