What's the best / simplest / most accurate way to detect the browser of a user?

Ease of extendability and implementation is a plus.

The less technologies used, the better.

The solution can be server side, client side, or both. The results should eventually end up at the server, though.

The solution can be framework agnostic.

The solution will only be used for reporting purposes.
