以下是2016年检测浏览器的方法，包括Microsoft Edge、Safari 10和Blink检测:

// Opera 8.0+ (UA detection to detect Blink/v8-powered Opera)
isOpera = !!window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf(' OPR/') >= 0;
// Firefox 1.0+
isFirefox = typeof InstallTrigger !== 'undefined';
// Safari 3.0+
isSafari = /constructor/i.test(window.HTMLElement) || (function (p) { return p.toString() === "[object SafariRemoteNotification]"; })(!window['safari'] || safari.pushNotification);
// Internet Explorer 6-11
isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false || !!document.documentMode;
// Edge 20+
isEdge = !isIE && !!window.StyleMedia;
// Chrome 1+
isChrome = !!window.chrome && !!window.chrome.webstore;
// Blink engine detection
isBlink = (isChrome || isOpera) && !!window.CSS;

这种方法的美妙之处在于它依赖于浏览器引擎属性，因此它甚至涵盖了衍生浏览器，如Yandex或Vivaldi，这些浏览器实际上与它们所使用的引擎的主要浏览器兼容。例外是Opera，它依赖于用户代理嗅探，但是今天(即ver。15岁及以上)甚至Opera本身也只是Blink的一个外壳。

var browser = navigator.appName;
var version = navigator.appVersion;

然而，请注意，两者并不一定反映事实。许多浏览器都可以设置为其他浏览器的掩码。例如，你不能总是确定用户是用IE6还是用伪装成IE6的Opera上网。

所有关于web浏览器的信息都包含在navigator对象中。名字和版本都在那里。

var appname = window.navigator.appName;

 var isOpera = !!window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0;
        // Opera 8.0+ (UA detection to detect Blink/v8-powered Opera)
        var isFirefox = typeof InstallTrigger !== 'undefined';   // Firefox 1.0+
        var isSafari = Object.prototype.toString.call(window.HTMLElement).indexOf('Constructor') > 0;
        // At least Safari 3+: "[object HTMLElementConstructor]"
        var isChrome = !!window.chrome;                          // Chrome 1+
        var isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false;

我知道我问这个问题已经晚了，但我想我会在这里抛出我的片段。这里的很多答案都是OK的，而且，正如有人指出的那样，通常最好使用特性检测而不是依赖userAgent字符串。但是，如果您打算走这条路，我已经写了一个完整的代码片段，以及一个替代的jQuery实现来取代被放弃的$.browser。

香草JS

我的第一个代码片段只是向导航器对象添加了四个属性:浏览器、版本、移动设备和webkit。

/** navigator [extended]
 *  Simply extends Browsers navigator Object to include browser name, version number, and mobile type (if available).
 *
 *  @property {String} browser The name of the browser.
 *  @property {Double} version The current Browser version number.
 *  @property {String|Boolean} mobile Will be `false` if is not found to be mobile device. Else, will be best guess Name of Mobile Device (not to be confused with browser name)
 *  @property {Boolean} webkit If is webkit or not.

由于Internet Explorer 11 (IE11+)出来了，不再使用MSIE的标记名称，我提出了一个旧检测函数的变体:

navigator.sayswho= (function(){
    var N= navigator.appName, ua= navigator.userAgent, tem;

    // if IE11+
    if (new RegExp("Trident/.*rv:([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})").exec(ua) !== null) {
        var M= ["Internet Explorer"];
        if(M && (tem= ua.match(/rv:([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})/))!= null) M[2]= tem[1];
        M= M? [M[0], M[2]]: [N, navigator.appVersion,'-?'];
        return M;
    }

    var M= ua.match(/(opera|chrome|safari|firefox|msie)\/?\s*(\.?\d+(\.\d+)*)/i);
    if(M && (tem= ua.match(/version\/([\.\d]+)/i))!= null) M[2]= tem[1];
    M= M? [M[1], M[2]]: [N, navigator.appVersion,'-?'];
    return M;
})();
