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

selaimen tunnistus


Definition from own experience or research:
Prosessi jolla Internet-sivusto yrittää määrittää millaisella selainohjelmalla käyttäjä avaa sivuston. Tämä tehdään, jotta sivuston ominaisuuksia voidaan räätälöidä selaimen kykyjen mukaan.

Example sentence(s):
  • Selaimen tunnistaminen perustuu selaimen lähettämään HTTP_USER_AGENT-tietueeseen. Tämä tietue voi sisältää mitä tahansa, eikä sitä voida pitää luotettavana tietona. Toimiva automaattinen tunnistus ei näin ollen ole mahdollinen. - Sivut.org  
  • Kenties kaikkein yleisimmin käytetty piirre CSS:n ja muiden ohjelmointimenetelmien välillä on UA-laitteen tunnistus skriptikielen avulla. Tunnistuksen avulla voidaan kiertää selainkohtaisia bugeja tarjoamalla kullekin selaimelle erikseen räätälöity tyylitiedosto. - 2kmediat.com CSS Guide
