Detect Safari using jQuery

Question

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.

Answer 1

If you are checking the browser use $.browser. But if you are checking feature support (recommended) then use $.support.

You should NOT use $.browser to enable/disable features on the page. Reason being its not dependable and generally just not recommended.

If you need feature support then I recommend modernizr.
