I wouldn't count on this being the last time, you can use navigator.userAgent to directly sniff out whatever you think is a more accurate detection.

Can you provide the full user agent for your browser?

Yeah I've already figured out my own detection in the meantime, here's the user agent string the current Chrome build spits out: 

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_0) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.47 Safari/536.11

  • Status changed from pending to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix

This is because $.browser is unmaintained - to maintain is to encourage its use. Don't use it.

Please follow the  bug reporting guidlines and use  jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
