Distinguish Chrome from Safari using jQuery.browser

Question

It seems jQuery.browser is able to identify webkit rather easily as of 1.4. But how can I use it to distinguish Chrome from Safari (and visa-versa)?

Answer 1

You can do like:

// Is this a version of Chrome?
if($.browser.chrome){
  userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf('chrome/') +7);
  userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.'));
  version = userAgent;
  // If it is chrome then jQuery thinks it's safari so we have to tell it it isn't
  $.browser.safari = false;
}

// Is this a version of Safari?

if($.browser.safari){
  userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf('safari/') +7);
  userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.'));
  version = userAgent;
}
