 I couldn't find a previous ticket for this. I've often had to write some
 quick patching in my themes to detect what browser is the user using. PHP
 or JS/CSS it comes in handy knowing what the user uses. Any thoughts if
 this is a good addition to the core or?

 I was thinking of something along the lines of wp_get_browser(); (there's
 get_browser() function, but its output is raw). If this new function can
 return pretty output of the browser type, version, etc. It can be quite
 handy :)

 What I read on the php site - they say the get_browser() is too slow and
 there are other simpler solutions. I would love to see some feedback on
 this idea :)
