let sniff = new BrowserSniffer();

// Gives you access to the browser and the browser's version
console.log(sniff.browser, sniff.name, sniff.version); // Chrome 63, Chrome, 63

// You can also test against them if you want
console.log(sniff.matchBrowser('Chrome 63')); // true/false

// It is case insensitive and matches the individual name and version, but
// if you want to test individually you can
console.log(sniff.matchName('Chrome')); // true/false

// Note that it's major browser versions
console.log(sniff.matchVersion('63')); // true/false
