If you are checking the browser use   browser   But if you are checking feature support  recommended  then use   support   You should NOT use   browser to enable disable features on the page   Reason being its not dependable and generally just not recommended   If you need feature support then I recommend modernizr

A very useful way to fix this is to detect the browsers webkit version and check if it is at least the one we need  else do something else   Using jQuery it goes like this  x000D   x000D   use strict   x000D   x000D    document  ready function     x000D      var appVersion                    navigator appVersion  x000D      var webkitVersion positionStart   appVersion indexOf  AppleWebKit      12  x000D      var webkitVersion positionEnd     webkitVersion positionStart   3  x000D      var webkitVersion                 appVersion slice webkitVersion positionStart  webkitVersion positionEnd   x000D    x000D      console log webkitVersion   x000D   x000D      if  webkitVersion  lt  537    x000D          console log  webkit outdated     x000D        else   x000D          console log  webkit ok     x000D         x000D      x000D   x000D   x000D    This provides a safe and permanent fix for dealing with problems with browser s different webkit implementations   Happy coding
