Hi Brian and all, Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've generally had few problems browsing the Facebook site without changing the user agent. Granted, I switched from Safari to Crome for my primary browsing needs a while ago, which seems to have improved performance and stability over all. That being said, the user agent trick is unfortunately needed for some sites, including certain US government ones which have very strict browser requirements which don't take Safari or Crome into account. I don't know how to change Crome's reported agent string, in point of fact. Yours, Zack. On Jan 14, 2012, at 10:24 AM, Bryan Jones wrote:
