Another use of using those APIs could be to detect browsers (when the UA is cloaked etc.) and &#x27;&#x27;discriminate&#x27;&#x27; based on that. [I haven&#x27;t researched, is something like this happening already?]<p>&#x27;&#x27;&#x27;You are using an unsupported browser. Please use X instead.&#x27;&#x27;&#x27;<p>[Unless it is a joke: obviously X = Chrome]
