1I commented this on the author’s blog, but it’s removed for I don’t know what reason.
Anyway, I checked the source code of the plugin. And the browser detection itself has lots of if else blocks.
Which means that if there’s a new browser user agent or any other changes to the information, the plugin needs to be reinstalled.
I suggest it’s better to separate those information into 1 file, separated from the source code. So if there is a new browser, the user will only need to update the information data without having to update the whole plugin.
From implementation point of view itself it’s nicer because no source code needs to be changed.
Hope that helps.

2Bayu, I read your comment has been shown now in Priyadi’s Place. Maybe previously it was stopped in moderation.
