I know browser sniffers have been debated to death. Please read what I
have written before you give up on further debate.
Is it possible to have a menu bar item where we could change the code in
Mozilla that browsers dectect? Sometimes Mozilla will work with a site
it has been shut out of simply due to the fact that the sniffer tosses
it out. If I could pull done a menu list and tell thebrowser to list
itself as IE (Or opera, Netscape 4.7, or whatever) Mozilla would be less
likely to be shut out of sites that it will work with. I know some banks
shut out Mozilla (and Netscape 6) for no other reason than ignorance and
not based on its ignorance.
Mozilla is being shut out of many web sites, not for quality issues, but
simply by ignorance on the part of Web designers, prejudice (ie we only
design for Internet Explorer) or bad sniffer code. A pull down menu
allowing Mozilla to fool the sniffer into believing it is a different
browser would increase the number of useable sites that Mozilla can surf
to. The string would fall back to the default setting for the next site.
