Browscap Feature Request

[Vietnamkid1993]

Great job on browscap I use it religiously. Do you have a lighter version that has the rendering engine name? If not, please update the lite one. I know the full version does but it takes too long to load. Plus we are advised to build for rendering engines not browsers.

You shouldn't be using user agent sniffing to detect rendering engine. This should be done on the front end of your site. Sorry, but we won't be adding this sort of detail for the lite version.

What method are you using to load the full version anyway? Our own website, https://browscap.org/ uses the full version and is fast enough...

Thanks

I'm loading it from the php.ini and using the get_browser(null, true); method which is giving me around 1.2 - 1.5 seconds while the regular one gives me .023 seconds which is way better. Do you have a suggestion on a faster way to load in the file?

I recommend the library https://github.com/browscap/browscap-php - should be much faster, unless you're on PHP master branch, I believe Nikita Popov did some performance improvements recently around browscap, tho I haven't had a chance to look at what exactly yet.

Thanks
