English term or phrase: browser sniffing
Definition from hostingchecker.com:
The process in which the web site tries to determine what kind of web browser the user is using. This is done to suit the website to the particular capabilities of the browser.

Example sentence(s):
  • Web standards have made browser sniffing far less necessary on the server side, unless you happen to be implementing a browser statistics application. Sitepoint
  • The file is extensible in the sense that you can add your own properties (such as 'crawler', 'stripper' etc) and add your own browser-sniffing filters for newer browsers such as Firebird and Firefox. The Code Project
  • Some banks do browser-sniffing where they attempt to discover which browser you're using, and if it's not IE they bounce you away. Computerworld

njuškanje preglednika


Definition from own experience or research:
Postupak kojim web poslužitelj pokušava otkriti kojim se preglednikom korisnik služi, uglavnom u svrhu prilagođavanja sadržaja web mjesta tom pregledniku.

Example sentence(s):
  • Mrežno orijentirani napadi podrazumijevaju skeniranje vrata (engl. port scanning), IP podvalu (engl. IP spoofing), <b>njuškanje (engl. sniffing)</b>, otimanje sjednica (engl. session hijacking), napade uskraćivanjem usluge (engl. DoS attacks), prelijevanje spremnika (engl. buffer overflow), napad oblikovanim nizom (engl. format string attack), kao i svako drugo iskorištavanje ranjivosti u peracijskom sustavu, aplikaciji i mrežnom protokolu koje seodvija putem mreže. - Luka Drvoderić, Diplomski rad 1750, FER  
  • Njuškanje (sniffing). Haker/napadač specijalnim programima (više o njima u nastavku poglavlja) presreće TCP/IP pakete koji prolaze kroz odreñeno računalo i po potrebu pregleda njihov sadržaj (slika 4.10 i 4.11). - Marin Perko, Diplomski rad, FESB  
  • Ranije ove godine Google je u javno beta testiranje ponudio novu, drugu inačicu svog preglednika, Google Chromea. - Časopis Bug  

Explanation:
Radi se o kombinaciji dva u informatici uobičajena termina. Prilično je prihvaćeno da se "browser" naziva preglednikom (najučestaliji izraz), a "sniffing" IT struka uglavnom izravno prevodi kao njuškanje.
