OTOH, these idiots who are sniffing improperly[1] won't know what to make of that in their logs --even if they actually do look at their logs.
...and *permanantly* altering your user agent string will give *inaccurate* information to the **good** webmasters which hurts SeaMonkey, your chosen browser. ONLY change the string *temporarily* and ONLY if you absolutely *have* to use one of these crapped-up sites. When you do alter the user agent string, REPORT THE PROBLEM to the site owner. ...and the best solution to this is to find another site that offers a similar product/service --a site that isn't run by idiots who don't know what they're doing; a site that hires competent workers/contractors. . . [1] **ANY** sniffing is actually retarded --it's not necessary; see the page David linked Tell the idiots running the crappy site to just make STANDARDS-COMPLIANT pages.
