It is a bad idea because there is no such thing as foolproof browser sniffing. The only way to know what the browser can do is to test its features, and loading a piece of script for every feature implementation specific to a browser completely kills the benefit of loading less script.
Beside, jQuery is a small library available on powerful CDNs such as Google one, you shouldn't be too worried by the fact that it embeds some bits of useless code for your browser.
