Though both are Webkit based browsers, Safari urlencodes quotation marks in the URL while Chrome does not.
Therefore I need to distinguish between these two in JS.
jQuery's browser detection docs mark "safari" as deprecated.
Is there a better method or do I just stick with the deprecated value for now?
Using a mix of feature detection
and Useragent
string:
var is_opera = !!window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf(' OPR/') >= 0;
var is_Edge = navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Edge") > -1;
var is_chrome = !!window.chrome && !is_opera && !is_Edge;
var is_explorer= typeof document !== 'undefined' && !!document.documentMode && !is_Edge;
var is_firefox = typeof window.InstallTrigger !== 'undefined';
var is_safari = /^((?!chrome|android).)*safari/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
Usage:
if (is_safari) alert('Safari');
Or for Safari only, use this :
if ( /^((?!chrome|android).)*safari/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {alert('Its Safari');}
