How do I tune my guitar online without a tuner?

The answer

Open a free online tuner like the one below, allow the microphone, and play one string at a time. Tighten the string if the needle is left of centre, loosen it if it’s right, until it turns green. Standard tuning is E A D G B E, low to high.
