I've been struggling for over an hour trying to figure out how to determine if my webpage is opened within the embedded browser of Telegram using JavaScript. Despite looking through various suggestions from Cursor, none seemed to work, so I ended up tackling the issue in a more traditional way. I'd love to share the solution I've come up with!

It sounds like you're overcomplicating it! Detecting whether a page is opened in the Telegram browser should be straightforward. You can check the user agent string for 'Telegram'. It’s pretty much the basic stuff in JavaScript that any dev should know. You shouldn't have had to spend that long on it! But hey, sometimes these things can trip us up.
Haha, true! Sometimes we forget the basics, and that's when we need to step back and re-evaluate the simple solutions.
Honestly, the 'old school way' really just boils down to understanding web development fundamentals. Many of us who've been around a bit remember when checking user agents was standard practice. Sounds like you were just trying to stick with the basics, which isn’t a bad thing!
Right? It’s all about getting back to the roots. If something feels off or complicated, it might just be time to revisit the essentials!
For sure! And sometimes, the simplest solutions are the hardest to see when you're lost in the code.
Exactly! It really should be simple. If there's a problem with 'Telegram' not being recognized in the user agent, it might just be a temporary glitch or a lack of updates.
