QuirksMode a desarrollado un script en javascript el cual nos devuelve información del usuario tales como el tipo de navegador, versión que usa y el SO.

El Script

Del objeto BrowserDetect podemos hacer uso de las siguiente propiedades.

• Nombre del Navegador: BrowserDetect.browser
• Versión del Navegador: BrowserDetect.version
• Nombre del Sistema Operativo: BrowserDetect.OS

 <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var BrowserDetect = {
	init: function () {
		this.browser = this.searchString(this.dataBrowser) || "An unknown browser";
		this.version = this.searchVersion(navigator.userAgent)
			|| this.searchVersion(navigator.appVersion)
			|| "an unknown version";
		this.OS = this.searchString(this.dataOS) || "an unknown OS";
	},
	searchString: function (data) {
		for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++)	{
			var dataString = data[i].string;
			var dataProp = data[i].prop;
			this.versionSearchString = data[i].versionSearch || data[i].identity;
			if (dataString) {
				if (dataString.indexOf(data[i].subString) != -1)
					return data[i].identity;
			}
			else if (dataProp)
				return data[i].identity;
		}
	},
	searchVersion: function (dataString) {
		var index = dataString.indexOf(this.versionSearchString);
		if (index == -1) return;
		return parseFloat(dataString.substring(index+this.versionSearchString.length+1));
	},
	dataBrowser: [
		{
			string: navigator.userAgent,
			subString: "Chrome",
			identity: "Chrome"
		},
		{ 	string: navigator.userAgent,
			subString: "OmniWeb",
			versionSearch: "OmniWeb/",
			identity: "OmniWeb"

	],
	dataOS : [

};
BrowserDetect.init();

</script>

Con algo de ingenio podríamos mostrar la información del usuario de la siguiente manera.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('Usted usa ' + BrowserDetect.browser + ' ' + BrowserDetect.version + ' en ' + BrowserDetect.OS + '!</p>');
// -->
</script>
