I don't care to ever monetize this, or track what you're doing. Take a look at the code if you want :) I use this because I'm nosey, and thought I'd share my updates to the project.

This root project is not updated regularly, and I've pulled in some changes others have submitted, and a few of my own tweeks. These include:

-proper detection of twitter bootstrap
-jQuery Mobile Detection
-aws services from https://github.com/nqbao/chromesniffer/pull/65
