Detecting Chrome 26 on iOS as `safari`

Using jReject 1.0.2 with jQuery 1.8.2.

The issue is that Chrome v26 on iOS seems to be detected as safari.

I have the following option when calling jReject:

reject: {
    // basically, just allow Chrome
    firefox: true,
    safari: true,
    msie: true,
    opera: true,
    konqueror: true,
    unknown: true,
}

When visiting that past with Chrome v26 on iOS, it gets rejected. The value for $.browser.name is set to safari.

Unfortunately Chrome for iOS uses very similar identification as Safari for iOS, which is why it appears to be the same. They also both use basically the same renderer (for now anyway).

I am working on a way to distinguish between the two. Will notify you when I have a patch for this.

Chrome is being blocked on iOS even if all: false with nothing else defined.

Latest commit should fix your issue. With the latest version, Chrome for iOS now reports as Chrome v26.0.1410.50.

Previously it was incorrectly reported as Safari 2.0

Nice work 👍

Might I suggest an incrementing the release version?

I concur. I patched mine with the latest deltas and will confirm my problem is resolved. Thanks!
