    From the documentation, $.browser.safari is deprecated. Also, the entire $.browser object isn’t even recommended for use:

    Description: Contains flags for the useragent, read from navigator.userAgent. We recommend against using this property; please try to use feature detection instead (see jQuery.support). jQuery.browser may be moved to a plugin in a future release of jQuery.

    Anyways, $.browser.chrome is defined for Chrome (at least for me).

    Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Pd3gf/1/

    Why do you need to detect browsers in the first place? Just use $.support to see whether a browser supports a specific feature.
