English term or phrase: browser sniffing
Definition from hostingchecker.com:
The process in which the web site tries to determine what kind of web browser the user is using. This is done to suit the website to the particular capabilities of the browser.

Example sentence(s):
  • Web standards have made browser sniffing far less necessary on the server side, unless you happen to be implementing a browser statistics application. Sitepoint
  • The file is extensible in the sense that you can add your own properties (such as 'crawler', 'stripper' etc) and add your own browser-sniffing filters for newer browsers such as Firebird and Firefox. The Code Project
  • Some banks do browser-sniffing where they attempt to discover which browser you're using, and if it's not IE they bounce you away. Computerworld

Browserweiche


Definition from Wikipedia:
Browserweichen sind Techniken, um Unterschiede in der Darstellung von Webseiten in verschiedenen Webbrowsern zu umgehen, indem für unterschiedliche Browser unterschiedlicher Code angeboten wird.

Example sentence(s):
  • Oft sind es nur kleine Korrekturen, die für die einheitliche Umsetzung eines CSS-basierten Layouts erforderlich werden und meist reicht es, über eine Browserweiche den Internet Explorer von anderen Browsern zu unterscheiden, da erstgenannter viele CSS-Definitionen nicht standardkonform interpretiert - Validome  
  • Leider gibt es heutzutage viele Browser mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften. Sie interpretieren die HTML und CSS-Tags sehr verschieden und können daher Anzeigefehler erzeugen. Abhilfe kann eine Browserweiche in PHP schaffen. - flexib webcoding  
  • Richtig eingesetzt kann eine Browserweiche in Javascript sehr oft sehr nützlich sein. - naden.de/blog
