User agent sniffing is unreliable and evil.
- bigiain 13y agoWhile you're right - in this case it might be perfectly acceptable to decide "I'll use unreliable user-agent sniffing to handle 80%/90%/99%/99.999% of my traffic, and accept some small cases where a slower option occasionally needs to be used, or possibly accept minor font differences on odd-ball browsers".
- coldtea 13y agoOld wives tale. Not to mention there are more ways to tell apart browsers than user agent sniffing.
