     "dir", "dirxml", "group", "groupEnd", "time", "timeEnd",

You can no longer detect for Firebug using !console.firebug.

"The console API formerly implemented a console.firebug property. This property was removed from the API in Firebug 1.9.0 in order to prevent sites from detecting whether a user has Firebug installed."

In Chrome it's always defined.

One way to handle it is to define it if it is not defined:

if(!window.console) console = {log: function() {}};
