There are several methods to detect a browser in JavaScript. One is using the userAgent property.
The "userAgent" property is a part of the web browser's Document Object Model (DOM). It provides information about the user's web browser and operating system to the web server when a webpage is requested. The information in the "userAgent" string includes details such as the browser name, version, and rendering engine, as well as the operating system and its version. Web developers often use the "userAgent" property to create browser-specific functionality or to optimize their websites for different browsers and devices.







Example using the userAgent property

code:





<script type="text/javascript">

if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('OPR')) != -1 )
{
alert('Opera');
}
else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1 )
{
alert('Chrome');
}
else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Safari") != -1)
{
alert('Safari');
}
else if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1 )
{
alert('Firefox');
}
else if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 ) || (!!document.documentMode == true ))
{
alert('IE');
}
else
{
alert('unknown');
}
</script>

Please note that this code provides a basic way to detect the browser using the userAgent string. However, it's important to keep in mind that the userAgent string can be modified by the user or certain browser extensions, so it may not always be reliable for accurate browser detection.
