What's going wrong
Site owners using PHP Browser Detection report that newer browsers are reported as the wrong browser or not recognized at all. Edge is seen as Chrome, Vivaldi reports as Chrome 50, Opera is taken for an old Internet Explorer, and some Windows 10 Chrome and iOS in-app browsers go unidentified. Developers relying on conditional content and redirects end up serving the wrong experience. The bundled browser list lags behind current releases, so each new browser release creates another gap. A managed, regularly refreshed browser database with a clear accuracy report would give these sites reliable detection.
