[RC] Browser Update

Extension Name: Browser Update
Author: HoLyCoW
D
Extension Description: Inspired by the Browse Happy extension.

Browse Happy only checks for IE versions, but Browser Update checks all major browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc.)

Browser Update displays a notification to notify the user that their older browser is outdated and that they should update their browser. The extensions runs an external javascript file that connects browser-update.org to determine browser versions.

Extension Version: 1.0.0

Features:

Already Implemented:

• Automatic detection of browser's language (can be overridden)
• Automatic detection of "old" browsers. The Browser Update script labels a user's browser as "outdated" if a browser is no longer supported by the vendor or has security vulnerabilities. (can be overridden)
• Through the ACP, it can be configured as to how often the message will show up and if when clicked, wether or not the link will open up a new window.

Planned features:

• Customizable Look (through css selectors)

Anyone had the chance to try this out? If so, any feedback would be appreciated so I can push this to release.

Thanks.

I've installed it.

But can't test : I don't have an outdated web browser.

Mmmm can you tell me which version of Firefox is out of date ?

I only support language translations for the ACP because it's all Javascript based and detected on the fly through browser-update.org's script. There's no point in me creating a list of translation files when they already have a list of translation files.

But, if you want to make a translation for the notification message, they have instructions on how to do it here:

I use a browser plugin that allows me to change the user-agent of my browser. You can also force the notification by adding #test-bu at the end of the url.

Seems to work. I have an addon in my browser that allows me to pick a user agent so it looks like I'm using a different browser. In both my test server and the real site, Chrome 34 is not triggering that it needs to be updated. Neither is Internet Explorer 10 showing it needs to be updated. This is more than likely what browser-update.org is picking as being updated or not.

Also, would you mind doing a Pull Request? That way it'd be easier for me to incorporate it into the project.

Thanks!
