Is there any easy way how to detect browser and its version in jQuery 1.11?
There is deprecated $.browser. But I didn't find easy alternative for that in newer $.

You don't really want to do that. – bgusach Oct 21 '14 at 08:29

You don't. You detect for the features you're wanting to support, not for the browser itself. – James Donnelly Oct 21 '14 at 08:29

it was removed because browser detection is not a good idea.... instead you do feature detection – Arun P Johny Oct 21 '14 at 08:29

You usually don't want to check for browsers, but for supported features. – Cerbrus Oct 21 '14 at 08:29

The universe implodes if you do browser sniffing. And kitties die. Each time. – bgusach Oct 21 '14 at 08:30

you can use libraries like [modernizr](http://modernizr.com/) to do it – Arun P Johny Oct 21 '14 at 08:30

you can still make use of $.browser if you use the jquery migrate plugin – mjroodt Oct 21 '14 at 08:33
