Detect Safari using jQuery

Question

Though both are Webkit based browsers, Safari urlencodes quotation marks in the URL while Chrome does not.

Therefore I need to distinguish between these two in JS.

jQuery's browser detection docs mark "safari" as deprecated.

Is there a better method or do I just stick with the deprecated value for now?

I use to detect Apple browser engine, this simple JavaScript condition:

 navigator.vendor.startsWith('Apple')
