On the client computer? AFAIK answer should be no.

Are you talking about Client or Server ? IF you are talking about Your own machine, you can just use System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses and point out all the application exe's running on the system. If you are talking about Clients who logs in to your system, you cant do that. :(

So that makes this a wrong forum. There is a method GetProcesses in the class Process. That will give you list of all the processes running on your computer. From them, you will need to filter out the processes related to the browsers. For eg. chrome.exe for chrome browser.
