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

This is because $.browser is unmaintained - to maintain is to encourage its use. Don't use it.
I wouldn't count on this being the last time, you can use
navigator.userAgentto directly sniff out whatever you think is a more accurate detection.Can you provide the full user agent for your browser?
