Good, but not good enough. My bank, for example, uses Javascript and
looks at navigator.appName and navigator.appVersion. I tried patching
the source, but then my bank's non-standard Javascript just fails
somewhere else. I'm going to give my bank a month or so, now that
Netscape 6.1 is released, then change banks if they won't support it.
