  - getRawTimezoneOffset
```
public int getRawTimezoneOffset()
```
    Returns the browser-reported TimeZone offset in milliseconds from GMT ignoring possible daylight saving adjustments that may be in effect in the browser.
    You can use this to figure out which TimeZones the user could actually be in by calling TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(int).
    
    If getRawTimezoneOffset() and getTimezoneOffset() returns the same value, the browser is either in a zone that does not currently have daylight saving time, or in a zone that never has daylight saving time.
    
    Returns:
    
    timezone offset in milliseconds excluding DST, 0 if not available
  - getDSTSavings
```
public int getDSTSavings()
```
    Returns the offset in milliseconds between the browser's GMT TimeZone and DST.

  - isDSTInEffect
```
public boolean isDSTInEffect()
```
    Returns whether daylight saving time (DST) is currently in effect in the region of the browser or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the browser resides at a location that currently is in DST
  - getCurrentDate
```
public Date getCurrentDate()
```
    Returns the current date and time of the browser. This will not be entirely accurate due to varying network latencies, but should provide a close-enough value for most cases. Also note that the returned Date object uses servers default time zone, not the clients.
    To get the actual date and time shown in the end users computer, you can do something like:
```
 WebBrowser browser = ...;
 SimpleTimeZone timeZone = new SimpleTimeZone(browser.getTimezoneOffset(), "Fake client time zone");
 DateFormat format = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
 format.setTimeZone(timeZone);
 myLabel.setValue(format.format(browser.getCurrentDate()));
 
```
    Returns:
    
    the current date and time of the browser.
    
    See Also:
    
    isDSTInEffect(), getDSTSavings(), getTimezoneOffset()
  - isTouchDevice
```
public boolean isTouchDevice()
```
    Checks if the browser supports touch events.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the browser is detected to support touch events, false otherwise
  - updateRequestDetails
```
public void updateRequestDetails(VaadinRequest request)
```
    For internal use only. Updates all properties in the class according to the given information.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - the Vaadin request to read the information from
  - isTooOldToFunctionProperly
```
public boolean isTooOldToFunctionProperly()
```
    Checks if the browser is so old that it simply won't work with a Vaadin application. Can be used to redirect to an alternative page, show alternative content or similar. When this method returns true chances are very high that the browser won't work and it does not make sense to direct the user to the Vaadin application.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the browser won't work, false if not the browser is supported or might work
  - isEs6Supported
```
public boolean isEs6Supported()
```
    Checks if the browser supports ECMAScript 6, based on the user agent. Web components must be compiled to ECMAScript 5 when running on browsers without support to ECMAScript 6.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the browser supports ES6, false otherwise.
  - isEs5AdapterNeeded
```
public boolean isEs5AdapterNeeded()
```
    Checks if the browser needs `custom-elements-es5-adapter.js` to be loaded.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the browser needs the adapter, false otherwise.
