Hi, I realize that jQuery.browser is now deprecated, but I'd like to
give a use case where it makes sense to use jQuery.browser: I have
some code where each browser renders slightly differently, such as how
they treat borders for DIVs. If I use jQuery.browser, I can update the
CSS appropriately for the quirky browsers. If jQuery.browser is
eliminated in the future, I still need to detect rendering quirks.

This isn't about whether a browser supports a particular CSS or
JavaScript feature, but instead it involves subtle but important
differences in the rendering engines for the four major browsers:
WebKit (Safari/Chrome), Gecko (Firefox), Trident (IE) and Presto
(Opera).

Cheers, Greg.
