Block Google's CHROME-Browser

[mastram]

Version: 3.7.x

This Modification blocks all visitors using Google's CHROME-browser from your vBulletin.

Those users get a message in their Google-Browser that they should use any other browser and come back

why would one block Google Chrome?

Because this "browser" is collecting more than alot data about what users do, visit, surf to and even alot about the visited content - and some might not want all this on their site with their content..

you could block ie with something in your header if you want it's users gone...

<?php
   if (eregi("MSIE",getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT")) ||
       eregi("Internet Explorer",getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))) {
	Header("Location: http://www.domain.com/ie_reject.html");
	exit;
   }
?>

PHP will not work in the vB templates you would have to make the code above into a plugin.

It also logs everything you do browsing a website and has a right to use the content you upload/post.
