No way you need browser sniffers, just stick to standards and most modern
browsers will render your page the same way.

If you need netscape 4 support then split your styles into those that N4
understands and those that it doesn't and use the @import trick to hide
styles from N4.

this site:
http://www.torbytes.co.uk/ looks almost identical in all browsers and
renders unstyled but readable in those that don't do CSS.

It can be done and done simply if you take time to understand the box
model.
