Detecting browser with JavaScript by Alex http://graphicmaniacs.com/note/most-common-browser-user-agents-detecting-browser-with-javascript/comment-page-1/#comment-1109 Alex Thu, 12 Aug 2010 16:25:06 +0000 http://graphicmaniacs.com/?p=254#comment-1109 I totally agree with you. This method here may only be used for some testing purposes, or small websites (because you probably saw i use useragent string here which can be easily replaced). But the reason to use this is mainly because regular users usually don't know anything about user agents, and thus this method can be used sometimes. But, just in case you'll already in it, the best way to detect browsers is using the "personal methods", like window.external in IE or window.sidebar for Firefox etc I totally agree with you.

There are many posts everywhere explaining why it's a bad practice. Here are two of them: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/05/31/why-browser-sniffing-stinks/ http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2006/08/the_dangers_of.html Even if the author understands the dangers of this practice, I'm leaving this comment here for future readers.
