Hello together,

i think it's time to deprecate the function get_browser().

The reason is simple: Since the browscap.ini file has grown a lot this
function does need way too much time, see here for example
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12067641/get-browser-slowing-down-page-load-any-alternative

The underlying browscap.ini file is still a very resource to use and there
are very good official packages out there to use it
https://packagist.org/packages/browscap/browscap-php

I also compared the browscap.ini file to other UserAgent parsers around and
it looks still good

Alternative is only an optimization for this function, but i think it's not
worth, since the offical package is good.

What you guys think?


Best regards
Martin
