BAPS: Browser and plugin sniffer

Browser and plugin sniffer (BAPS) is a tool to detect factors regarding a user's environment, such as browser, version, language, plugins and more. Browser sniffing is famously fiddley due to a lack of consistent implementation by browser vendors (until recently, even jQuery had given up trying to consolidate this with its $.browser object). This script aims for reliable detection. It sets a global variable, baps, an object through which the various pieces of data can be accessed.
