If the browser doesn't provide any system to detect that it supports this feature, then the only way to enable it is to do UA sniffing, and I thought that everyone agreed that this is bad because when the code is deployed it must be updated for each new browser that implements this API. I wrote about my point of view about this kind of features in http://alfonsoml.blogspot.com/2009/08/upload-progress-for-firefox-35.html As I said there, if other browser implements that API the code will work automatically for them. It's not a problem to add new code to support a new API, but make it work based on UA it isn't nice.
