From the developer
Deblyn Prado's own description of WP Outdated Browser, lightly tidied.
So, you’re tired of people visiting your modern website with an outdated browser and not doing anything about it. Maybe they aren’t “power” users, maybe it’s your auntie running a last century browser trying to see awesome CSS3 animations and transforms. Let the user know that’s an outdated browser, and advise them on a better one.
With this solution you can check if the user’s browser can handle your website. If not, it will show a cool looking notice advising the user to update the browser. It\’ll be up to him/her to decide if he upgrades or not. Don’t force the user!
