You can use the jQuery Migrate plugin and call the $.browser. It will work!
Using the plugin is easy; just include it immediately after the script tag for jQuery, for example.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.js"></script>
JS:
$.each($.browser, function(i, val) {
$("<div>" + i + " : <span>" + val + "</span>")
.appendTo( document.body );
});
