How it works

org detection logic for WordPress. After activation, the plugin loads the local notification runtime from the plugin directory and passes your configured browser-version thresholds to those scripts. The notification is shown only when the bundled detection logic matches a browser to your settings.

The settings page is available under Settings > WP BrowserUpdate. org runtime, choose where the message appears and which element should contain it, enable testing mode, decide whether mobile or unsupported browsers should be notified, customize links, language and message text, and add trusted custom CSS for the notification.

Negative whole numbers are passed to the bundled runtime as relative offsets from the current bundled upstream version.

Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Internet Explorer have separate settings now.

This local runtime design avoids frontend blocking of external script URLs on sites with strict Content Security Policies or tracker blocking. WP BrowserUpdate ships only the local runtime and CSP adapter files needed by the plugin.
