I do not trust anyone who says "don't do it this way" but doesn't say how

There are several of "if (isBrowserX()) {...} else {...}" in Wicket JS code

Since there are several other *Java* libraries for user agent detection
this means that someone still finds them useful despite what other people
claim.
