BrowserWarrior

Are you a warrior? Are you brave enough to reject your non-modern browser users?

It is time to say YES.

BrowserWarrior makes this super easy with one line of code.

Note: Only Ruby on Rails 5.x is supported at this time.

Note: Ruby on Rails 6.x is supported as well.

# in your Gemfile
gem 'browser_warrior', '~> 0.14.0'

And then:

$ bundle install

That's it.

All non-modern browser users will be redirected to a page that suggests they should upgrade their browsers.

Configuration

Question: Can I add more unsupported browsers?

Very easy. Run:

$ rails g browser_warrior:install

It will generate browser_warrior.rb in config/initializers/.

There is a browser object that you can easily customize.

Question: Can I customize the suggested browser page?

Sure. Run:

$ rails g browser_warrior:views

It will generate view and css files for you that can be edited.

Nice and easy.

i18n

BrowserWarrior will render the correct page based on your i18n locale config. It currently supports en and zh-CN, and you can add more locale pages easily.

Advice

I suggest adding the code below to your base layout( e.g. application.html.erb ):

// app/layouts/application.html.erb
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
<meta name="renderer" content="webkit" />

Roadmap

• Release 0.11.0, support Ruby on Rails 6.x
• Release 0.1.0, one line code to support rejecting old browser page
• I18n support ( 0.3.0 )
