TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

WP BrowserUpdate is for WordPress site owners who want to alert visitors using outdated browsers. It solves this by displaying a non-intrusive notification prompting outdated-browser visitors to upgrade, using bundled detection logic served entirely from the plugin's own files instead of external browser-update.org resources.

  • Non-intrusive outdated browser notifications
  • Local bundled runtime files
  • No external browser-update.org script loading
  • Configurable browser-version thresholds
  • Testing mode
  • Mobile and unsupported browser notification toggle
  • Customizable links, language and message text
  • Custom CSS support
