Capability detection
The ability to detect a specific browser before writing code. For example, a script may have to detect the existence of a down payment for a function before calling it. This detection method frees developers from considering specific browser types and versions, allowing them to focus on whether the corresponding capabilities exist. Capability detection cannot accurately detect specific browsers and versions.
Quirk detection
Quirks are actually bugs in browser implementations. For example, there was a quirk in early webkits, that is, it would return hidden attributes in the for-in loop. Quirk detection usually involves running a piece of code and then determining if a browser has a quirk. Because quirk detection cannot accurately detect specific browsers and versions.
User Agent Detection
Identify the browser by detecting the user agent string. The user agent string contains a large amount of browser-related information, including browser, platform, operating system and browser version. User agent strings have a considerable development history. During this period, the browser provider view always adds some deceptive information to the user agent string, and deceives the website into detail its own browser is another browser. User agent detection requires special skills, especially be aware that Opera hides its user agent strings. Even so, the rendering engine used by the browser and the platform used by the mobile device and gaming system can still be detected through the user agent string.
During each HTTP request, the user agent string is sent as a response header, and the string can be accessed through Javascript properties. On the server side, it is a common and widely accepted practice to determine the browser used by detecting the user agent string. On the client side, user agent detection is generally regarded as a last resort, with priority following capability detection and quirk detection.
