Certainly, at some point you are bound to see this error in your WordPress dashboard. Especially if you are using Chrome or Firefox, which are now racing who will post a new upgrade (I’ve tracked at least 3 minor updates to my Chrome browser in the last week!).
While the feature is a neat one and ensures that your visitors (and you) are able to use all features of the dashboard, it is somehow an added distraction. I personally wouldn’t want my visitors to actually focus on something which is NOT related to my own blog and sure enough, I do not want them to leave my website to upgrade their browser, simply because upgrading usually means that they would need to restart it (the browser) at some point and they might never return back, abandoning the task they came for.
Disabling this feature of the dashboard is rather easy. For the tech-savvy, there is an add_filter which can be used:
add_filter( ‘site_transient_browser_[browser-name-version], [callback-function] );For everyone else, there is a plugin which will do all the work for you:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-browser-nag/faq/
Installing the plugin is trivial and standard. Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New section and either search for no-browser-nag and install it online or download it to your own computer and upload it via the install page.
It has no configurable options, since all it does is to enable/disable the out of date browser nag. Just activate it and you will never see the nag again.
