Browser reject?

[Alex Kovacs]

Hello. I would like to make a website where you can only enter with Firefox or Chrome. I would like to have a GO that can be clickable only when on the proper browser.

There is no way to safely detect your browser identification. There is always a chance that the user agent string has been modified, and since the Internet Explorer (Edge) has mostly adapted standards by today, previously working CSS hacks won't work with current browsers either.

That's quite a big bitch slap to those Edge users.

you can do 

window.close();

location.href = 'https://google.com'

There is no easy way to do this, in javascript/php you can identify the browser and then set if using edge > then redirect to error page requesting them to use a *real* browsers, shouldn't be hard if you know how

or you can suck it up and actually build a website that works across all browsers.

This is not realistically achievable. I can spoof whatever browser I desire using Firefox or Chrome's Developer Console.

Is there a specific reason you want to restrict the site to Firefox users only? I personally don't use Firefox, so even I'd be unable to use it.

What is your target audience for the website, and will it be actually open to the public?

irrelevant, why would one ever want to limit access based on ones browser preference? 

 

If a feature doesn't work then that's the developers fault for not supporting one of the most widely used browsers.

I was attempting to troll him and prove a point about how that feature would only attract people who could, and would, bring down his site...

fair enough. There is only one way, and that is to find a behavior that is only in each of the browser.  Chrome, or did I don't know not, used to print out any html it got in headers.
