Library method

suggest change

An easier approach for some would be to use an existing JavaScript library. This is because it can be tricky to guarantee browser detection is correct, so it can make sense to use a working solution if one is available.

One popular browser-detection library is Bowser.

Usage example:

if (bowser.msie && bowser.version >= 6) {
    alert('IE version 6 or newer');
}
else if (bowser.firefox) {
    alert('Firefox');
}    
else if (bowser.chrome) {
    alert('Chrome');
}
else if (bowser.safari) {
    alert('Safari');
}
else if (bowser.iphone || bowser.android) {
    alert('Iphone or Android');
}
