Hi all, how do you solve the problem of the browser detection?

The PHP built in function get_browser() doesn't seams to work very well,
it's slow and inaccurate, it also need a huge browscap.ini file to be
loaded and updated, and looks like isn't maintained really well.

The most accurate library I've found uses the user-agent-string.info API,
which isn't very fast, and it doesn't tell the device type, such as iPhone,
iPad, Android, etc.

Not satisfacted by the available solutions I've decided to create a library
that with dependency injection loads other parser, so it's flexible and
accurate. The library, Sail\Useragent, is open source and available on
packagist:
