I have this code:

<body onload="detect(navigator.appName)">
<h2 id=alert>This tutorial is for Google Chrome users,
why would you want to read it?</h2>
</body>
<script>
function detect(x){
    alert(x)
    if (x != "Chrome"){
        document.getElementById("alert").style.display = '';
    }
}
</script>

The problem is, whenever I open the page using Google Chrome, It returns “Netscape“. Is there a workaround?

    On chrome this is what navigator.appName will give you:

    Netscape

    It will be much easier if you parse the User Agent

    if ( ! /(Chrome)/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
    document.getElementById("alert").style.display = '';
}

    But i have to say, if you show your tutorial to only those who are using Chrome, you are missing the point of the internet.
